As a Polish-American, it is difficult for me to believe that the Polish plane that crashed over Russian the other day, was not a kind of holocaust staged by the Russians. For all of those who would wish me to believe that Dan Brown's DaVinci Code is a revelation of conspiracy theories rather than a fictive novel, let me say that many Polish Americans believe that THE COLD WAR GOES ON! This plane crash, because of the importance of so many passengers now dead, is a HISTORY CHANGING EVENT.
The fact that President Lech Kaczynski, his wife, and so very many people important to today's Poland, were on their way to Katyn, a place in the Russian Forest where Polish intellectuals and military officers were dumped in an unmarked grave 70 years ago by Russian soldiers, is especially upsetting. I'm one of those Americans who has ancestors said to be taken away by Russians, never to be seen again. I have been unable to verify or locate these people and I would like the records of the names of those prisoners to be opened.
In one LA Times article I read (in paper) "I just have this feeling that Katyn is a diabolical place in Polish History." Tomasz Lis, journalist and author.
There are so very many links to this story on the Internet. But let me say this. I am linking to the Russian point of view above. So if you are by chance one of my readers from Poland, or Hungary, or Slovakia, please understand the reasons behind this. I'm trying to be fair. I'm trying not to believe that a pilot with experience, with knowledge of his passengers, and warned not to land, would do so anyway. I'm trying not to believe that there was not a terrorist on board, or some character who put a gun to his head.
