MH17

It's difficult to know what to say about the recent events in Ukraine: the horror of civil war over the last few months, culminating in the shooting down of Malaysian Airlines MH17. To add insult to injury, the accusations and denials, the deliberate obfuscation, the truth buried under layers of propaganda. Is this how Russia wishes to be seen by the world?

Behold, we know not anything;
    I can but trust that good shall fall
    At last—far off—at last, to all,
And every winter change to spring.

So runs my dream: but what am I?
    An infant crying in the night:
    An infant crying for the light:
And with no language but a cry.
