It is hard to understand how 260 people can be missing within an area the size of a school. Did some of the terrorists escape with hostages, or were the explosions and fires bad enough to consume 260 people?

Hello,

What a beautiful picture.

I just tried to compose a post that would express how I feel and what I think about it. I found that I could not do it. Words rarely fail me, but now they do. I have a 6 yr. old son, and I do know that this could happen here.

Despite the subject, I am still...

Glad to be here, MOgirl

We can expect many repeats of this same abomination here if Kerry's elected.

Matthew 18:10 - Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

How many angels of the dead and injured children with direct access are currently imploring the Lord for justice? I wouldn't want to be an Islamist.

Big time prayers for all those in suffering.

I would like to know how 260 people could be "missing". That is very odd. Where else could they be???

I have a bad feeling that those "missing" were obliterated by bomb blasts. Either from those explosives set on the walls or the ones on the suicide bombers. Keep in mind that those suicide belts contain ball bearings, screws, and nails to increase casualties and to demolish whatever is near. I hope that Russia decides to let Israel help with rehabilitation of the children since the victims probably have wounds that Israel is familiar with.

These reports of numbers all conflict.

Why don't they release the OFFICIAL number?

Forty days. It's tradition to wait forty days. Probably a good idea. Then go get them coldly. Judgement would probably be impared right now, efficiency reduced. Wait.
