I am almost sorry you directed me to this picture. The symbolism is complete: dirty, scrabbled nails, blood-smeared palms, a shining golden cross still clutched....

FWIW the owner of this particular hand survived; at least, she's certainly alive in the wider shot.

I'm sitting here late, just reading and staring at these pictures. While I'm sitting, my 4 year old son and my 2 year old daughter are asleep in bed. My wife is asleep and I am sitting here with tears in my eyes.

In Russia a father is crying because he no longer has a son or a daughter. His wife may be dead. All because he innocently took them to school one sunny day. All because of evil men.

My son now goes to a public school for pre-school. In faith, I pray that I will never have to stand outside of a school waiting to know if my son will be alright.

I believe in God. I also believe in evil.

When will we wake up? When will this stop? I don't know. I keep hearing the words, "Islam is a religion of peace. Islam is a religion of peace."

Islam is showing itself. God protect us.

Err, "love the Lord with all your heart, and soul etc."
And yes, I clicked on your ID and read some of it.
That's why I wrote the reminder.

I wonder if we took out the religious govt. that is
feeding lying propaganda to the people and forbidding
missionaries. They must be ripe for conversion by now...
I betcha the Muslim women would convert first ;-)
That'd drain the swamp alright.

But as for the terrorists who have committed these
crimes against God and Man...
Torture is too good for 'em.

I literally began to cry a split second AFTER looking
at these photos, realizing what they are free from.

The Hatfields and the Abdullahs, the Muslims are.
Only they try to drag the rest of the human race into it.

It's a solution well worth trying.
Start with the terrorist leaders . . .

Err, no. Between abortion and condoms, soon there
will be no more liberals, and we conservatives will
have won.

Nice try, though. Almost as effective as Kerry's midnight
speech in front of a bunch of bussed-in Teamsters,
where he refused to choose sides between two local high schools.

Unbelievable disaster. No words for this at all. Prayers sent to the souls of the victims, and to the survivors. So many innocent young lives ruined. And for what?

Why did it happen to children? Children who should be at home with their families or outside playing. Something is terribly wrong when innocence and the future is crushed. It may take much more of these sorts of events until the people begin to wake up. Which is very unfortunate.

I think that the best solution here is for Putnam to pick the most rebellions Chechnyan province, tell the women and children to get out, and then nuke the hell out of it.

No, the best solution is for Putin to do that toMecca

The Wahabbists declared holy war on Russia even before Bin Laden did against us.

the attack on America was NOT the start of the war -- it was very late into the war, the Wahabbis had already declared war on Israel, Russia and India

You're welcome. Maybe now if the EU and our govt. get off Russia's back about human rights violations Russia will do what has to be done and might even be more open to fully joining us.

This wasn't a hostage rescue attempt. According to a woman who survived the ordeal the terrorists used tape to secure the bombs to basketball backboards. One bomb slipped out, exploded, and then the children made a break for it. The terrorists then started shooting at the children.

The freaks in New York should be protesting real evil. Protest terrorists killing children on the first day of school or the situation in Africa where thousands and thousands are starving and being killed by warlords. Protest the UN that supports the regimes of killers.

"Where are you seeing this?"

It was the one of the glut of AP/AFP photos linked to on one of the half-dozen other threads about this. One of the photos was a wider shot that included her head being bandaged. She was banged up, but her eyes were open and she was looking at the camera.
