Rex Murphy: For a tragedy of this scope, can we not resist partisan comment for right now?

It’s been a harsh and sad time for many Canadians these past few days, following the news of the downing of the airliner in Tehran and the loss of so many Canadian lives.

Word now, as I write and as far as any reports may be regarded at this stage as definitive, is that the destruction of the airplane, the loss of lives, resulted from a accidental targeting of the plane by Iranian military. Whatever the circumstances, nothing alters the grief and loss felt by the families of all those innocents aboard that flight.

Of the politics on the tragic moment, I think we could let those pass for a day or two, while tears are still flowing and relations still striving to absorb the shock and loss so suddenly thrown upon them, before we begin the inevitable back and forth of partisan and sectarian shadow-boxing.
