What, can't they bring themselves to call the perpetrators what they REALLY are?

Because then they would have committed the grevious sin of being judgemental. It's better for people to be butchered than to be called judgemental

Well one advantage Israel & Israelis have is compulsory military training,something that is not available in the US or India & is of a very rudimentary nature in Russia.

I wonder if the Russians (or anyone in the West) has thought about soft targets in the homelands from which these terrorists come? Aspirin factories... mosques?

On a small scale, (blowing up homes of terrorists, buildings used by snipers or for tunnelling), this is what the Israelis have done, and it has been effective.

Bodies of schoolchildren and hostages killed in a school seizure seen in a hospital morgue in Beslan, North Ossetia, Friday, Sept. 3, 2004. Commandos stormed a school Friday in southern Russia and battled separatist rebels holding 1,200 hostages. An official said the death toll could be significantly higher than 150.

I am weeping looking at the pictures of these innocents.

I know, me too. It was hard to watch the coverage on Fox this morning. I hope Putin does something.

This week's bloody school standoff in southern Russia, which culminated Friday in a commando raid and scores of civilian casualties that included children, shattered whatever might have remained of the notion that innocents are taboo terror victims.

Leave it to an idiot AP analyst to come up with this revelation.

As if anyone is suprised by these medieval savages' indiscriminant killing of women and children.

OMG, my heart hurts for their parents. The only way you are going to rid the world of terrorism is to kill all the terrorists and those who preach to them. I think someone needs to be taking out the Imam who preach this hatred.

I propose that for each death caused by terrorists at least one mosque be leveled.

AP seems to have a big blind spot as to the long history terror attacks against Israeli children.

Good luck doing that. We can't even find OBL 3 years after 9-11.

I guess it will always be surprising and shocking to me to realize that there are some that are so feelingless and so godless as this, to deliberately harm innocent babies.

Evil has been so distant to me until 9/11/01.

The following is a post from Freeper MarMema to me:

Your 282. Note the Orthodox priest in the third picture. This area is 98% Orthodox Christian. The chechens hate us more than any other group.

..."... IRA terrorists came under scathing Catholic condemnation for civilian carnage."...

Something that Muslims don't do is condemn the killings. It's a reason to celebrate a victory for Allah.

I remember many a news report that identified the IRA as a "Catholic" organization.

Not so for reports of terror activities. Never are they referred to as "Muslims".....except for here at FR.

Terrorists value their mosques over anything including human life. Besides I would not give them the comfort of dying in their place of worship.

For those who mock the War on Terrorism it should be posted over their beds so it is the first thing they see in the morning and the last thing they see at night.
This carnage alone is reason enough to vote for Bush.

Excuse me, but where has this writer been? Since Munich in '72, terrorists have been targeting innocents. They've been blowing up children in Israel for years. He needs to get his head out of his *** and open his eyes.
