Plane crash kills Polish president, other top officials
As far as I know, nobody here is a Polish national, but this was still awful to read about.

By way of providing some context, the President of Poland is the head of state but not the head of government. He has veto power over legislation, but otherwise he mostly acts as a figurehead traveling around the world and giving speeches to represent his country. The Polish Prime Minister is the person who is really in charge, and he is still alive. Nonetheless, this disaster is roughly equivalent to the US losing the Secretary of State, Speaker of the House, National Security Advisor, head of the FBI, several Senators, some of the Joint Chiefs and some political spouses all at once. Right now, all I can think is that there's unfortunately a reason why the US is so paranoid keeping members of government separate as much as possible. |

Horrible. Poland has been through so much pain, they don't deserve any more.
That said, I hope the international community looks into the causes of this disaster, and not just Russia... This wouldn't be the first time "accidents" have happened to people Russia didn't like... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisoni...der_Litvinenko 95% chance this was just a horrible mishap, but I don't put much past Putin... |
