By forcing the gov't to attack a school rigged with bombs, a great toll of human life is taken.

I think immediate response has to happen. Immediate. Before they set up their bombs and separate the men and women and children and kill the strong men and make their sham demands.

Less will die that way than waiting.

re: "I think immediate response has to happen"

As desirable and effective that policy might be it's a hard one to impose. Columbine is a good example. The first responders were reluctant to enter the school until backup arrived. They could hear the shooting going on inside but would not enter to investigate. Few areas have sufficient resources to mount a counter attack in less than a couple of hours, and that's more than sufficient time for the aggressors to do whatever it takes to solidify their position. The kids at Columbine chose to use that time to shoot classmates who professed their faith in God, the animals in Russia felt it was time better spent assuring the terror would outlive them. My wife has been a preschool program director for over 30 years and we have known for the last 10 years just how vulnerable our schools and preschools are to terrorism. Simultaneous drive-by attacks on multiple playgrounds during recess would be so very easy and impossible to protect against. If we are ever going to live without the threat of this kind of terror we are going to have to go after these animals at the source of the problem, those at the top who finance and direct their worldwide network.

Thanks for the link, TH. It proves that the Islamic killers were responsible.

Too bad our concealed carry law prevents me from carrying my pistol into a school (or church, or sporting event, etc.) so that I -- and others like me -- might at least have a chance to save some children should anything like this ever happen in our neighborhoods.

What the ignorant lawmakers don't want to come to grips with is that terrorists and criminals don't pay much attention to their laws.
