Bump for prayers. This was a horrible tragedy for so many. It is truly heartbreaking.
maybe we could start a prayer vigil for, say, Sunday night? I remember the FRiday after 9/11, people across the country put white candles in front of their homes, and it was a very touching event. Not to forget, of course, Red Cross or other charity who can possibly help there, tho I can't imagine what would really help them, other than support to just get through
I was not present at either the Oklahoma tragedy, New York, or at the Penatagon, but this is such a tragdey. It only underscores that in this world , there are some who are truly Evil.
Like September 11, 2001...how errie that Evil can exist on a beautiful sunny day.
A charity for the victims:

MISSION STATEMENT - BESLAN
THE FUND'S GOAL IS TO HELP THE CHILDREN AFFECTED BY THE TERRORIST ACT IN BESLAN
The complete fallout of the terror act in Beslan is not yet clear. What is clear is that this is the worst terror-related human catastrophe in the history of Russia. As of now, media reports indicate at least 150 victims who already died as a direct result of this terrorist act, and over 600 victims, mainly children, have been taken to local hospitals, a large number of them with very serious injuries.
The Foundation was originally established in 2002 to raise personal and corporate charitable donations to help families of the Nord-Ost terror victims. That project was successfully completed with all donations fully distributed.
On September 11, 2001, Russian people and the whole world stood by the people of the United States, Canada, and all other countries whose citizens became victims of that unprecedented terrorist attack.
The Beslan hostage crisis is an example of the same type of terrorism that has perpetrated the September 11 attack. In terms of the number of people involved and the worldwide attention and solidarity, the Beslan siege can in many ways be compared to the major attacks against the US and many other countries.
The Foundation is managed by a group of activists and operates in full accordance with applicable US charity laws.
All personal donations will be used solely to help the children who were injured in Beslan or whose parents died as a result of this terror act.
Bump
Prayer bump!
Nice post, phoenix.
What I'll be interested to see now is, will the Russian people "go Spanish"?
Those children could just as well be our kids. Vote Bush/Cheney. Spitballs will not stop this kind of cruelty.
What is awful is that it is quite possible that Muslim charity money from this country and Saudi money may well be the deep pockets that are funding this evil.
Money for murder is murder.
