<p>I was shocked when I heard this. Like you said, with all this modern technology, it should have been avoided. It’s sad to hear how great a leader can be taken down so quickly. </p>
<p>The plane crashed because the pilot disobeyed his order to land in different air field and the airplane was crappy because Poland didn’t have enough money to improve it or build a more advanced plane.</p>
<p>The president and his advisers–I was sad that Poland lost those people, but these people don’t handle domestic affairs, so Poland is fine. </p>
<p>Well what if a country decides to invade Poland now? Ironically it could start WWIII…
What if some radical fascist group rises up?
Poland is not fine! <em>Freaks out</em> <em>Waves arms wildly</em></p>
<p>Poland will be fine, though this is a tragedy. Too few leaders for that nation is better than too many (<em>cough</em> Partition of Poland <em>cough</em>)</p>
<p>I think the airplane they were in was pretty up to date. I read that it had up to date radars and such last November (last fall sometime).</p>
<p>It’s a tragedy. That’s why high officials shouldn’t ride in airplanes together… I’m guessing that the UN would step in if anything bad happens with leadership (don’t quote me, I’m not into politics and policies and stuff so I’m just thinking…).</p>
<p>This was unbelievable when I heard it. How can a pilot for the PRESIDENT be so unprofessional? They didn’t even have enough money to buy a modern jet?</p>
<p>Incredibly tragic. I hope their government and citizens can get through this.</p>
<p>Oh. Because that would be really bloody eventually…not that it isn’t already. It’s almost stunning how little it’s been noticed. :(</p>
<p>Eh, and is it really all that pro-democracy? All I really can see right now that it’s anti-status-quo. Not much we can really gather about what’s about to form.</p>
<p>^ true. I’d go for whatever they take over the status quo. Turkmenistan, for example, banned western music. I don’t know about Kyrgyzstan in particular, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it were similar</p>
<p>lol no western music? Was it for insulting language, bad messages, or the prosperity of their native music industry? ;)</p>
<p>This kind of revolution sort of just begs to happen though…right? Countries with super-rich people at the top ignoring a lot of increasingly poor people at the bottom don’t tend to remain stable. Plus couldn’t the new leaders become just as corrupt lol? :/</p>
