Commandos stormed a school Friday in southern Russia where hundreds of hostages had been held for three days, sending hostage-takers and their captives fleeing in a scene of chaos amid explosions and gunfire. More than 100 children were wounded in the assault, some running from the building naked and covered in blood. (AP Photo/Ivan Sekretarev)

fyi
Helps express how I feel today.
NO! we need a National carry law so it's recognized in ALL states.
How often do they mention the FACT that the "hostage takers" are islamofascists?
If Russia, India, and the USA could unite, we could crush these amoral mass murderers. Why not start with a trilateral military march through the Pakistan border region? A door to door search for Jihadis, and let it be known that anyone cooperating with them will be permanently imprisoned.
They won't even call them terrorists. Good God, this is no less horrifying than 9/11.
These 'militants' are cold-blooded, animal Terrorists. Now the Chechen terrorists are importing animals more sadistic and evil than themselves.
It's tragic and not really surprising that our alphabet soup of networks isn't giving this any real time. It is diametrically opposed to Kerry's vision of Amerika and the appeasement he intends to use.
I am so tired already today to hear these Terrorist animals referred to as 'separatists' and 'hostage-takers' and 'gunmen'. Check out Russian news - they are calling them what they are Terrorists. Terrorists who are bent on death. I've been reading accounts all day, it's unspeakable and indefensible what they've done to little children in the name of their 'cause'. And to think that our medias dismissal of these events and disapproval of anything but appeasement only fuels the fires of these cowardly animals.
its the truth. America is always their to help pick up the pieces and spread her good will....while people protest in the streets against the man who wants to put an end to this...for ALL mankind..even them...
when will the protesters protest these acts of torture?
wher were the human shields?
From what I've heard about Islam, people say, well, when the Moors took over Spain they built great libraries and that they invented algebra or something.
Hey, the only thing, that looks this bad is an earthquake and the US and other countries helped Iran when hit with an earthquake.
Where's the Red Crescent? Ever?
All I can think of, is there was a report early that a Moslem leader went to speak to the Terrorists.
See #88. Shame on our alphabet networks for not reporting it as pure, unadulterated terror.
Hey idiot.. the children are nude b/c it's like 95 degrees and they were shuffled into a gymnasium for 2 days without food or water!!!!!
It was like 350 people,perhaps more in a small gym..
go to www.logicandsanity.com for a reality check on what is coming to a neighborhood near you.
This crap has to be changed. Our kids are sitting ducks. Teachers and administrators should have the right--nay, the responsibility--to carry in public and private schools. Homeschooling jokes not welcome in this context.What will it take to shake some Americans out of idealistic ideas about negotiation and appeasement?
Tears for these poor children and their families. Is there somewhere where we can leave condolence messages for the Russians?
Just awful.....such a deliberate provocation....should be responded in the harshest kind of way possible
Are you sh!tting me?
I've read 2 versions (BBC and ITV), both probably accurate, from the hostages themselves. One is that some of the children (it fills me with anger as I type) were doused with flammable substances in an effort to booby trap the place. The other is that they were packed into small rooms like sardines, denied food and water and the outside daytime temp was 95-100. These terrorists are sick, twisted f***'s.
