"Anyone who will feels sympathetic toward such provocations will be viewed as accomplices of terrorists and terrorism."

I think I saw a bunch of them marching in the streets of NYC earlier this week.

"Anyone who will feels sympathetic toward such provocations will be viewed as accomplices of terrorists and terrorism."

I think Pres. GWB said it more succiently.

But the European Union said in a statement it wanted an explanation from Russia "how this tragedy could have happened."

They want to play the 9-11 commission in the Russia production of terrorism.

North Ossetia is the only predominantly Orthodox province in the otherwise mostly Muslim North Caucasus.

These Terrorist Demons purposely picked this Orthodox Christian town to slaughter as many innocent Christians as possible. This has nothing to do with ethnic disputes or political statements. This is Radical Islamic fanaticism at its best (worst).

This is the kind of EVIL we are all facing folks. Remember this when you vote in November! That's why we cannot back down and that's why Bush MUST continue to fight these terrorists for as long as it takes.

Even after stating the salient info on why this area was attacked: "North Ossetia is the only predominantly Orthodox province in the otherwise mostly Muslim North Caucasus."

Thank you. As an Orthodox Christian I am grieving the loss of my fellow churchmembers, as well as that of fellow humans. The chechens hate us more than any other group, because our Russian priests used to bless the tanks and troops heading into chechnya, and because Russia is primarily Orthodox.

Thank you so much for catching this point. I really appreciate it.

Go over to the DU board and you will find a whole nest of vipers that support and sympathize with the Islamic child-killers!

[Mo1]

You mean like "What did they know and when did they know it"?

[risk]

I hope and pray that this evil is not being set up here in the USA even as we speak...

I think we'd better get ready.

TODAY WE ARE ALL RUSSIAN LIKE ON SEPTEMBER 11 WE WERE ALL AMERICANS.
Putin did the right thing.
Don't care about the EU... In Europe nobody cares about it... In fact nobody votes for it...

"Western governments offered sympathy to Putin. But the European Union said in a statement it wanted an explanation from Russia "how this tragedy could have happened."

Is the European Union really that stupid to ask a question like that ?"

Um....well yes they are actually!

[mass55th]

" It's a good thing Clinton isn't in, he'd want to bomb them."

It's a good thing Clinton isn't in...he'd have a heart attack over this.

Ba-dum-bum.

[ChadGore]

The Eastern Europeans did it themselves.

Point well taken. I think we should offer Putin the troops we now have in Germany.

[ezfindit]

The EU comments "how this tragedy could have happened"
points to complete MORAL IDIOCY or evil support for the terrorists! There's no other way to explain such a perspective on this clear act of destruction.

What caused this... hmmm.... let's see.... MURDEROUS TERRORISTS who horribly slaughtered defensless Orthodox Christian children, women, and men. These EU bureaucrats are as evil as can be for making such an idiotic statement. Thank GOD England refused to join the EU. Good for them!

"Anyone who will feels sympathetic toward such provocations will be viewed as accomplices of terrorists and terrorism."

Sounds like what our President said after 911
You are either with us or the terrorists-period!

[fortheDeclaration]

"But the European Union said in a statement it wanted an explanation from Russia "how this tragedy could have happened."

This 'tragedy' happened because of Islam-DUH!

[MEG33]

We cannot state this openly ..HORRORS...One might draw the conclusion that the Islamic terrorists deliberately targeted a school filled with babies,women and children because it contained Christians...

and the obvious implications of that is that they were engaging in a religious war

and we can't dare say the terrorists are engaged in a religious war...can we?/sarcasm

'But the European Union said in a statement it wanted an explanation from Russia "how this tragedy could have happened.'

It is time choose sides Putin.

[FairOpinion]

"One of the tasks pursued by the terrorists was to stoke ethnic hatred, blow up the whole of our North Caucasus," Putin told local security officials.

"Anyone who will feels sympathetic toward such provocations will be viewed as accomplices of terrorists and terrorism."
--- Bush doctrine, Putin version

But I totally agree with Putin.

We will have to start doing the same thing, instead of giving lawyers to the terrorists, courtesy of our Supreme Court.

[FairOpinion]

"Authorities said they had been forced to launch a rescue operation when the gunmen opened fire on fleeing children. "


How brutal and inhuman is that?!

All these terrorists need to be eradicated. No mercy.

[FairOpinion]

EU is trying to blame Russia, not the terrorists.

And Kerry wants to get advice on terrorism from the EU and UN.

[Cronos]

These Terrorist Demons purposely picked this Orthodox Christian town to slaughter as many innocent Christians as possible. This has nothing to do with ethnic disputes or political statements.

Correct
