IT WAS Alana Dzandarova’s first day at school on Wednesday. She dutifully turned up on time at School No1 in Beslan, with her mother and younger brother, and lined up in the yard with her new classmates at 9am. No one knows where she is today.
The first official duty of the six-year-old’s school career was to attend a ceremony marking the start of the academic year in North Ossetia. The ritual was never finished.
Shortly after 9am, the high-pitched hubbub of excited schoolchildren was replaced by the roar of heavy vehicles, shouting, barked commands and gunshots.
A Gaz-66 military lorry, escorted by a police car, sped into the school courtyard and began unloading its deadly cargo. Scores of men and women, masked and wearing bomb belts, burst out of the vehicles, hijacked in neighbouring Ingushetia, and into the playground with guns blazing.
Within minutes, more than 1,000 people were

Well gosh, you think? Geraldo was watching a sail boat struggling against the winds commenting that the sailor must be experienced - he could tell - but this storm is deadly and there's a chance he'll make it if he just turns here or there. Turns out it was anchored with no one aboard. If I want to watch in-depth Hurricane coverage - and I do at times - there's this Weather Channel, and they at least know what they're talking about.
Sorry, long complaint. But this Beslan story is HUGE, and taking away nothing from the tragedy in Florida, FL has been very helpful to NC when these things happen here, but a news station should be covering something more than one story.
Muscovites stand in line to donate their blood at a blood transfusion center in Moscow, September 5, 2004. The siege, and the storming by troops which ended it with more than 330 dead in the Russia's southern town of Beslan, broke grim new ground, even by the brazen and bloody standards of past Chechen rebels attacks.
Oh God... I weep for these people. The horror of this is almost unimaginable.
Thanks to you both. Some other interesting reading: "Onward Muslim Soldiers" which discusses not only what the Quran actually says (as opposed to what apologists claim it says) but a bit of Sharia law. It will chill you.

I found that disturbing too! I gave up on trying to find any international news, finally. Yes, I know this information is important to those in Florida, but probably most of those aren't watching television right now anyway. By now their battery-run televisions are no doubt out of juice.

This grief will turn to anger.
I personally believe the retribution will be swift and terrible.
Time for bloodlust. A Roman crucifixion would be far to decent for these perps. Might the dogs of war be unleashed on such depraved monsters. Where is the signup roster?
Might flocks of vultures find eternal nesting on their Muslim carrion.
Absolutely perverse conduct befit not even wild beasts.
Time for the Russians to remember what the USSR response would have been. The time for playing nice is over.
Time to send to terrorists, their family members and comrades in little boxes.
As the line in a James Bond movie, "Send him back to Moscow..." the guy looked happy and mockingly at Bond, then the KGB guy finished, "In a diplomatic bag."
