Spoke with Russian Embassy in Washington,D.C.. Their email address is russianembassy@mindspring.com. Please send prayers and support.
Ahem... While I hate and despise the muslim/arab assholes who did this just as much as you do and feel for the parents, let's not forget this IS Russia you are saying this to!
We can't forget that they're the same folks who sponsored terrorism in South Vietnam, the same folks who booby trapped toys in Afghanistan, and the list goes on.
Of course!! I forgot!! That makes it all okay! What CRAP.
Just because the Russians did it 10-20 years ago now makes it okay that terrorist scum now kill their children. Man, what great logic.
These terrorists did not kill the children because the Russians did something similar in Vietnam or Afghanistan. They are doing this ALL OVER THE WORLD because anyone not of Islam is an infidel and lower than animals.
Well..If you follow Kerry's words on our "actions" in Nam and Kennedy's words on Iraq, I guess were no better than Russia..(/sarc? I post, you decide ;-) )
Thank you for the email addy, I sent my condolences, along with how I feel about the whole situation!!!!!
Don't you see anything ironic about saying "To deliberately target civilians is horrible. To deliberately target CHILDREN is pure EVIL." , to a government funtionary of the Evil Empire?
I certainly do.
I sent one earlier in the day.
Your logic is twisted. You ask if it is ironic to say deliberately targeting and killing children is EVIL? No, it is not ironic, it is pure EVIL.
The Evil Empire no longer exists. Your argument is flawed. Also, it does not matter what a country or peoples did 50 years ago, 20 years ago, 10 minutes ago, TO TARGET CHILDREN IS WRONG AND EVIL, PERIOD, no matter who is doing it!!
This is the problem with libs today, they always say "Yes, that is horrible, BUT......". Sorry but there are some things you do not rationalize, no buts. Killing innocent babies and children are one of them.
There is no cause, no movement, no reason, no uprising, no insurgency, no freedom fighting and no rationalizations anywhere on this planet that is worth killing innocent children!!
Email sent.
You're putting words in my mouth. I never said anything about what those assholes did being OK. I wish Russia had the balls to just Nuke Chechnya (sp?) and be done with them.
And it DOES matter what a country did 50 years ago. Russia sucks. Always has, always will.
If it'll make you feel better to send condolences to some ambassador who probably used to question prisoners of the state, you go right ahead.
I sent my condolences.
I think some of you are not quite getting the picture here. The simple fact is, terrorists killed innocent children in Russia, and we need to express our condolences. It's not about whether or not we like a country or a group; it's not about whether or not the country or group is good or bad; it's about human beings who had their lives stolen from them. I feel sorrow for the families of the lost, and believe the perpetrators need to and will be brought to justice. All the Russians need right now is our sincere condolences and support.
e-mail has been sent.
Yeah the Soviet Union WAS the Evil Empire. In case you were in a time warp, the Communist Evil Empire was defeated by Reagan. These are Children, children who many weren't even alive during the Evil Empire.
We forgave Germany quickly and fed their people, and helped them rebuild their country when we defeated Nazism. We were there within days helping the former nation of our adversary, who had just been shooting at our troops.
When war is over, you forgive. It goes to the root of this country, England forgave us for winning, and we forgave them for trying to heap monarchy on our humble colonies. Now England is one of our best friends.
The Russians stood with us on 9/11. The Russians even mourned with us as we honored the man who defeated them.
The war is over, we won, they've obviously forgiven us to mourn with us, can't we likewise?
My condolences sent.
The shocking pictures I've seen today made this big guy tear up. I have a three year old son myself and when I saw a picture of a man holding a limp severely injured little boy not much older than my own son, I nearly lost all composure. How could anybody, no matter what their cause is, do such a thing to helpless innocent children?

And your point is?
All I did was point out that Russia has a history of sponsoring this kind of shit all over the world.
Ever read anything about the "oil for food" scandal? Putin should be more careful who they sleep with.
Whenever I see a comment that is extremely immature, inappropriate, or ill informed, I check the sign-up date. It is usually a date in reasonable proximity to the present. I then check selected previous posts for signs of trolldom. Based upon your previos posts, I did not hit the abuse button and yell troll.
Please print out the following from your post 35 and ask your English teacher to identify at least one problem in each sentence:

Got the reply this evening (Sat 9-04)
Dear ,
On behalf of all Russian people I write to express my gratitude to you for your feelings of compassion and sympathy for the tragic loss of life as a result of a despicable terrorist act in Northern Osetia.
Your support is very much appreciated at this time of sorrow and trial for my country.
Sincerely,
Yuri V. Ushakov
Ambassador of the Russian Federation
