'They are very cruel people... a ruthless enemy'

BRIAN BRADY

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

I read the entire article. This is how the article described the terrorists:

men and women, extremists, attackers, hostage-takers, captors, rebels, guerillas, cruel people, ruthless enemy, the group, adversaries, militants, and bandits.

This is how the article described the situation:

crisis, siege, tragedy, invasion.

Therein lies the problem. Not calling this what it is: a terrorist act carried out by Isalmic terrorists.

Bandits? Where did that come from?

Not nearly strong enough.

When President Bush says "The terrorists hate us because of our freedom" he is absolutely correct. There are some things worth fighting for. Our children are at the top of that list. We need to pray for ALL World Leaders to confront this death cult masquerading as religion.

This grief will turn to anger.

I personally believe the retribution will be swift and terrible.

If it is, as in the kind of thing the old USSR would do, the truth is that it is the ONLY thing these scum would begin to understand.

If you are attacked by a rabid (dog)*, you do not calmly discuss the Vitue of Pacifism, you pick up a big object and bash his f------ brains out.

* A Higher species of Muslim Extremist.

No sooner do I complain than FoxNews is discussing this. Brit Hume rocks.

"I personally believe the retribution will be swift and terrible."

Yes.
But I think it will also be important to know the Al Quaeda connection.
The training, the involvement of Syria, etc.
That can have an impact on the US election.

We cry and pray. Please forward these to Bishop Tikhon of the OCA who claimed this about the BUSH administration: "In my opinion the present administration exceeds in immorality all previous administrations. I think Howard Dean's "Worse than Watergate" should be read by all voters."

Feel free to email him directly at: vladyka@worldnet.att.net

God Have Mercy on the souls of these poor children, poor babies, holy innocents.

"A voice was heard in Rama, weeping and loud lamentation; Rachel Weeping for her children, and she would not be comforted, because they are no more." (Matthew, 3:18)

To all Orthodox Christians,

Here's what Bishop Tikhon, vladyka@worldnet.att.net , the Orthodox Christian bishop of the OCA said on 8/7/2004:

"If telling the truth only when it would be of benefit to the teller were a cause to ****convict*** someone of being a sociopath, then I think our whole present administration, especially the vice-president and the
secretary of defense and his staff, and many posting on these would qualify."

You should forward these images to him, ask whether he is ready to apologize for such wrong comments and support the fight against the evils of Radical Islamic terrorism and the defense of the innocent. Several of us have tried to get him on the record but he is blocking our emails.

I can imagine it more and more everyday. People must know the extent as horrible as it is, because understanding it helps to stop it and decrease the odds that such creatures could survive long enough to do it to OURS.

The "Moderate" Muhammadan adherants better fix this problem THEY have that is murdering US or I have to assume there is no such thing as a "Moderate" Muhammadan...

Hostage taker? I can only believe that this comes from the BBC or some other european press outlet because this piece of filth is not a "hostage taker". He is a cold blooded murderer.
