We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.

AFTER more than 24 hours in the sweltering heat of the school gymnasium in Beslan, one of the boys trapped inside could not take it any longer, writes Peter Conradi.
Summoning up his courage, he approached a hostage taker with a bayonet fixed to his assault rifle and asked him for a drink. It was probably the worst error that he could have made.
“Instead of giving him water, he drove his bayonet through the boy’s body,” said Stanislav Tsarakhov, 10, another captive standing nearby. “I don’t know if he died.”
Details of the incident emerged as children who escaped the siege described how their captors had deliberately deprived them of food and water, repeatedly firing guns into the ceiling to try to silence them. “The hostage takers would hold their machineguns to your temple and said that if there was a lot of noise, they would shoot everyone,” said a girl, who gave her name only as Zalina.
Diana Gadzhinova, 14, who also survived the siege, said that one of the greatest hardships had been the lack of food and drink.
“When we were let out to go to the lavatory, some children would run into a room where there were plants in pots and they would eat them,” she said.
“Others would hide the plants in their underwear and share them with their friends. But the hunger was not as bad as the thirst. Some children couldn’t take it and would urinate into their hand and drink.”
At another point, Gadzhinova said, they were all ordered to lie down. There were so many people packed into the gym that they had to lie on top of each other. “The gunmen warned that if there was an arm or a leg in their way, they would shoot at it without warning,” she said.
For Arsen Khasigov, 11, trapped with his mother, the worst thing was the sleep deprivation. “They kept us awake all the time,” he said. “They would pour our urine on our heads.”
Also horrific was the role played by two “black widows” — Chechen women who turned to terrorism to avenge husbands and brothers killed during the Kremlin’s military clampdown on the breakaway republic.
According to accounts from some captives, the women blew themselves up in the first hours of the siege, killing several men near them. Last night no trace of their bodies had been found.
This trash is going to find themselves extinct in short order. Bring this scenario to the US and they are finished, both here and abroad.
Agreed. It is beyond the pale.
The liberal media has for months been unceasingly shrill about Abu Ghraib. How long do you think that same liberal media will give even scant mention to this far, far greater outrage committed by their beloved islamists?
We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.
Please.
There are no words for it.
I picture my innocent grandchildren. It's hard to go there.
Where is the world outrage?
Don't turn blue.
Now you have a few Crystal balls : Israel, Russia, India where murder by suicide bombings are a norm...expect the same - if Kerry is elected.
Does it matter? Both the U.S. and Europe are still accepting Muslim immigrants. No one has taken the initiative to start deportations. We're trying to democratize a Mulsim country (taking it out is one thing; trying to force it to fit a mold completely contrary to its nature is another). Racial profiling at airports is still frowned upon.
And their fat leader has plenty of food and water. The pig.
I don't question Kerry's patriotism - it simply isn't American (That is to say, Kerry's allegiance is to something other than America. ;).
When do we get to take off the gloves?
We may be PC now, but the American people would scream for the enemy's blood--collateral damage be damned--were they to slaughter our children like they did in Russia. When sufficiently provoked, Americans can make war like no other people on Earth. Many in the Muslim world (including OBL) have had no direct contact with America and only their experience in their own sH*#holes to compare it to. In short, they have no idea what they're up against.
Gee those human rights watches have been deadly silent. But you sure can go back and read about how Putin was a bad guy for harsh military action in chechnya. Ya think they might be getting a clue about now? Psst, these are *really* evil, sicko people.
Hope Patty Murray is paying attention too.
I cannot stop reading about this horror and am angry that the only thing Fox news has reported on today is the hurricane.
I cannot pray for these creatures anymore, that God will turn their hearts. They have no souls, they are dead evil automons. I pray for their destruction.
Well said. It is ridiculous, and an utter waste of time, to try to understand the motives of people who purposely terrorize and kill helpless children to make a point of any kind. The only reason to do something this horrifying is to attract other evil people to your cause.
The people who decided to do this are morally lost. They think taking children captive, terrorizing them and shooting them in the back is a righteous act. They've lost their right to promote any cause: who has any interest in mass murderers' opinions on anything? That includes whether they think the Iraq war is right or wrong, since they have no moral base to stand upon whatsoever.
Those who 'blame America first' should at minimum acknowledge that never in our history have we masterminded a plot where we took children hostage, surrounded them with bombs, and shot them in the back when they tried to flee. If there were ever a stark contrast between what the US and the coalition of the willing stands for, and what the terrorist network stands for, it would be this massacre.
They would do the same to us and our children. I get very sick of people making excuses and feeling sorry for the mooselems. I think the touchy feely people who feel sorry for the muslims need to see this murdered child in their minds for infinity.
No, No, No, NO!!
Summoning up his courage, he approached one of the radical Islamic terrorists with a bayonet fixed to his assault rifle and asked him for a drink.
You probably understand now why I have always hated the chechen scum as I have, and posted for their release from this planet. I tell people over and over again, they are just not like other human beings. I know you have seen me posting this in the past.
It is what the Russians call them - bandits without souls, btw. It is an apt description. I can not accept them as children of God.
