instaPoll: How should the US react to the Malaysia Airlines Tragedy?

Congressman Randy Forbes

 

 

Last week, a Malaysia Airlines passenger flight, carrying nearly 300 people, was shot down over Ukraine.

Secretary of State John Kerry stated that there is evidence that Russia provided the rebels in Ukraine with the weapons used to shoot down the plane, and reports indicate that the rebels have turned over the black boxes that contain key data about the flight and the downing of the plane.

This week, the United Nations Security Council voted unanimously to conduct an international investigation into the tragic incident.

Question of the weekWhat role should the United States play in the response to the downing of the Malaysia Airlines flight? 

( ) Impose new sanctions on Russia.
( ) Take the lead in the investigation of the attack.
( ) Lead negotiations to disarm pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine.
( ) The United States should not get involved.
( ) I don't know.  
( ) Other.

Notes From Her Suicidal Bed

Some days, putting metal in the microwave
seems like the best idea. In the morning,

it's easy to forget your dreams.
In the night, too. Not smaller

not faster, never younger nor better.
Burn of Merlot, burn of Chardonnay,

burn of limes. Alkaline. Acidic.
Desperate chalk. The vertical blinds

separated after dusting to reveal
a peek at the Hudson. Through

red brick buildings. Mood music
in the background. The sound of

breaking glass. The color of salt.
These things have nothing to do with grief.
