A ?Tragedy Upon Tragedy? for Poland

In modern history, few nations have suffered as much as Poland. �Once the dominant power in east central Europe, the nation was carved up as Prussia and Russia expanded, its people persecuted.
Today, the nation suffered what law professor William A. Jacobson billed a “tragedy upon tragedy“; virtually the nation’s entire leadership was wiped out in a single plane crash:
The President of Poland and much of Poland’s military and civilian leadership were killed when the presidential plane crashed in Russia on the way to commemorate the massacre of 22,000 Polish officers by the Soviets in 1940.
It is as if that very forest where the plane went down harbors an animus to Polish leadership:
The crash came as a stunning blow to Poland, killing many of the country?s top leaders and reviving, for some, the horror of the Katyn massacre.
?It is a damned place,? former president Aleksander Kwas?niewski told TVN24. ?It sends shivers down my spine. First the flower of the Second Polish Republic is murdered in the forests around Smolensk, now the intellectual elite of the Third Polish Republic die in this tragic plane crash when approaching Smolensk airport.?
Jacobson had really written about the�Katyn Forest massacre, an event at the outset of World War II that often doesn’t get much attention–as it puts out Soviet allies in a bad light, a very bad light.
Our hearts — and prayers — go out to the Polish people.
