How STUPID can you get?

Stupid is often fatal.

Malaysia Flight 17 flew into an air war and was mistaken for a combat aircraft. Doesn't anyone in air traffic control have an IQ in double digits?

This event is similar to the Iranian airliner that the US Navy shot down over the Persian Gulf a few years ago. An Iranian airliner flew into a combat situation where a US Navy ship had been defending itself from Iraqi war planes.

Have the commercial air traffic controllers, and pilots, not got enough intelligence to avoid an air war combat area?

Of course none of the lame steam media will talk about any of this. They are all too busy drumming up anti-Russian animosity.
