The loss of life is the main concern and it is truly horrific but you would hope the war mongers would realise that they are partly, albeit indirectly, responsible for these deaths and this would stop them trying to make political capital out of it. I doubt this will restrain the lunatics in Washington though. On a lesser note, I'm afraid they will use this to claim that their usual propaganda outlets (the underwear salesman et. al.) are always to be relied on and they clearly told the truth about MH17. It's interesting to notice how much actual data they rushed to hand over in this case (missile launch signatures, etc.) whereas in the MH17 case they made vague claims to have "conclusive evidence" but they never made any of it public or even handed it over to the relevant authorities. This discrpancy, and the obvious conclusions to be drawn from it, might hold their crowing in check somewhat.
