This article I can live with.
Already today I have heard some "talking heads" opining that the Russian Security Forces "botched" this hostage crisis.
It truly enrages me. Just like the "It's all America's fault" crowd when it comes to the war on terrorism.
I am sure that the Russian Forces did the best they possibly could trying to bring an end to this barbaric, and amoral assault on the children, and families at the school, and in trying to preserve the lives of as many of the hostages as they could.
Note to talking heads: The Russians didn't strap bombs to themselves and go into an elementary school reeking violence and destruction on little children. The Terrorists did.
Typical monday-morning quarterbacking by the talking-heads. This was a no win situation from the start. One can't negotiate with a fanatic. The terrorists wanted this type of outcome.
The Russians did the best they could with the awful circumstances. What theyt should do now is reopen the camps in Siberia, reinforce the walls, add electrification and rename it Chechnya.
