Among the victims of MH17 were Joep Lange, former president of the International AIDS Society, and WHO official Glenn Thomas.

I know nothing of EU politics so please enlighten me.

What's the atmosphere like in the Netherlands right now over this?

If EU and NATO sit on their hands again, could the Dutch possibly respond on their own? How equipped is their air force?

I think many people are just shocked.
I dont't think the Dutch will respond right now, certainly not on their own. The Dutch PM and foreign minister called for an international investigation by the UN. We'll have to wait for a report. The PM said that if it turns out to be an attack, everything should be done to find these people and and bring them to justice.
