Kerry says the terrorist threat is 'overrated'.
I remember how hard it was to leave my crying five-year old the first day of kindergarten.
This mother will never recover from this barbaric torture.
I truly hate these monsters.
Too awful to even imagine.
If one put it in the movie, one would not believe it!
Monsters

Putin needs to turn Chechnya into a sea of glass.
Being a mother of a 6 year old and a 2 year old I would rather die myself than have to make this choice. I'm not faulting this mother at all..at least she saved one of them. But I cannot comprehend the agony of making the choice. Perhaps she thought the 6 year old had a better chance of saving herself in some way...running or something.
Oh Dear Lord....

About a dozen mothers, like Dzandarova, were allowed to take only one child, forced to leave another behind.

Violence often selects its victims randomly, but seldom is a mother asked to make a Sophie's choice: Save one child and leave behind another, possibly to face death.

"Alana was clinging to me and holding my hand firmly. But they separated us, and said: 'You go with the boy. Your sister can stay here with her.' I cried. I begged them. Alana cried. The women around us wept. One of the Chechens said: 'If you don't go now, you don't go at all. You stay here with your children
and we will shoot all of you.' "
She couldn't save both of them. She could only die with both of them or save one of them and herself.
"I didn't have time to think what I was doing," she said. "I pressed Alan even stronger to myself, and I went out, and I heard all the time how my daughter was crying and calling for me behind my back. I thought my heart would break into pieces there and then."
I wonder if liberal kerry supporter Meryl Streep would be willing to put as much energy making sure the world knew of this atrocity as she does vilifying our President?
These monsters must be stopped. This must never be allowed to happen again.
Can not find the words to express the horror and sadness of this.
Unimaginable. My heart breaks for this mother, and the others. May God give them strength.
Angry Bump!
Kerry would storm the school with spitballs.
God, please forgive me for the hatred I now feel. Death sounds too good for these terrorist thugs. Things like this, the kidnapping and beheading of innocent peoples and the genocide of the Christians in Africa are all perpetrated by Muslims. Islam, a religion of peace. Bovine scat! Obviously, it will be Muslim blood or our own that is to fill the streets the world over.
