Just awful!
Im not sure which is worse, this horrible atrocity commited by the Chechen Islamic terrorists or the irrational anger and unbridled hatred of those commenting on these images. Moral people have been hunting barbarians since the dawn of what they themselves call "civilization". If this method worked there wouldn't be any terrorists remaining would there? Anyway, we aren't the first to think of it; do these names come to mind?: Roman Empire, the Inquisition, European Crusaders, Nazi party to name a few?
So what's the source of evil then? We kill the guilty and yet it remains, what's happening,hmm? Every "civilized" society on record has committed acts of violence, so surely its not a matter of a distinct few "infected" people causing the problem. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT IT IS! YOU AND ME, WE ARE ALL THE SOURCE OF EVIL! We are at war with ourselves, every bit of uncontrolled anger and every batch of unimaginative, stupid ideals.
Is it so hard to believe that maybe these Chechan separatists look at those children and they dont see children? That perhaps they only see the obscure political goals of their peers or the red haze in anger? In this case the enemy is not flesh and blood the enemy is an empty soul and an ignorant mind. Perhaps we would make a wiser choice to set a postitive example for the rest of humanity in what I like to call the "good parent effect". If we can make our enlightenment so obvious that denying it would be the equivalent of denying the breath within us, then perhaps we would convince the terrorists that their cause, their violence against us is meaningless.
I suggest that everyone should use this time to reflect upon their daily lives and actions.
