This is why--for all anyone knew for some time it was another unfortunate air accident. If yesterday's rampage in Paris had taken place in Moscow there would be a far different reaction than for the plane downing.

You are wrong. Flowers and candles were brought to the russian embassies around the world, even in Ukraine.
I'm not wrong . I never saw anyone change their Facebook profile pages for the Russian flag, or say I am Russia, or anything of the sort. There was NOTHING comparable to what everyone is doing here for Paris.
You are right. FB and Instagram is full of changed profile pics as was the case when Paris was attacked months ago. Remember je Suis Charlie? Nothing like that for th russian crash.
France is one of the United States's oldest allies, going back to the War for Independence. It is natural to have a stronger feeling when one of your best friends encounters tragedy.

What do you expect? It's not as though Russia and the US have had strong relations over history. Western Europe and the US? a little better

She led us into the Iraq war. Do you think she will back down from this?

I agree there is a disparity here.
But, I do believe part of it was due to the fact that it took about a week to identify the true cause of the downing of the plane, if in fact they have definitively identified it.
Have authorities attributed the plane crash to ISIS? Definitively?

He/she is not entirely wrong. How many people raised an eyebrow when ISIS gathered up woman/children and killed them in Syria and Iraq? They make up a larger portion of ISIS victims, but I think for the most part people generally do not care until it affects a group of people they can relate to.

Yes. World War III.
Are you guys heading down to the recruiting station today?
Not the PP but my husband has been fighting these sorts of guys for a decade through countless hairraising deployments. Only regret is not prosecuting this effort in a fight it to win it fashion. We simply have to decide what we are doing here, and then do it. Fight or withdraw. Half gestures are a waste of everyone's time and dedication.
Oh, and you're welcome.
Was he part of the original invasions that created this mess in the first place? In that case, thanks but No thanks. I would have preferred to pay a little more at the pump than radicalize a huge terrorist movement for the sake of oil.
You must be young and ignorant. They've been radicalized for centuries.
That wasn't the point. We would have been better off letting Saddam count his money than having a faction in his place that is actively trying to hurt us. We created this problem...or Bush did? Interpret it however you want, but terrorists were not in Iraq before the war. We set them up really nicely, hell we even gave them weapons and vehicles.
This is all true but there is nothing that can be done about that now. And I’d remind you Hillary and John Kerry voted for the war in 2003. Now we’re stuck with it. So now what do we do?
Oh I fully agree, I'm not blaming her husband for what happened. He was just following orders. But to say "Oh and your welcome" as if by being a part of that operation he was doing me a favor is pushing it a little.

Bush's invasion of Iraq was a terrible idea, but your timeline is wrong -- 9/11 happened before that.
Also, PP's DH is in no way responsible for any of this. Shame on PP for saying so.
When did I ever mention 9/11? We are talking about ISIS here.
