Makes a nice target doesn't it ! ! !
That picture was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes!
I believe, the Bear has been awakened, and Putin is a smart enough politician, to know, that he has to use overwhelming force, ar at least be percieved as doing so, to quiet the unrest this has generated in Russia. Putin's only chance for political survival, depends on ruthless revenge.
Just as a side note,: If these people were polled on how they would vote in the US election ( like the Canadians and Euros are polled) who do you think they'd vote for?
So much for sensitivity and nuance.
That is the real question, when do people start fighting the war on terror?
No, I don't have the answers, only the questions.
Nice. Are you ready for this? Get a load of this headline:

"Basketball Bomb Sparked Beslan Battle"
http://www.themoscowtimes.com/stories/2004/09/07/001.html
A bomb falling off a basketball hoop sparked the fierce battle at the Beslan school.........
Slimy media would never take that poll....
They're still working on how to make this all BUSH"S FAULT!
Let's see how November elections go.
Send that picture to every Muslim site you can find. Might make them think.
No dice. They'd just run to the press (the same one that legitimizes Islam as a "culture" we must "appreciate") and would paint me as a "purveyor of anti-Arab hate speech" blah blah blahblah blah...
I love the totally independent Russian Media's new take you've posted there: if only those idiotic armed civilians had stopped firing into the school, the police would have had the whole situation in hand- why, the islamofascists were ON THE PHONE, saying they'd stop firing, because a falling bomb started the whole thing, you see, and that was a mistake, and also the authorities have now ascertained that the idiotic civilians are the ones who caused the terrorists to shoot the negotiators dead (at the exact same moment as the "accident", you see).
So the subsequent suicide bombings were NOT the authorities' fault, by any means.
Now, I have no inclination to fault the Russian police for this- it is the fault of the MUSLIMS. Period. But I also have no inclination to accept at face value the detail-free ass-covering spin coming out of the Putin-controlled media.
I'm usually not one who advocates such methods, but given the fact that most Chechens support the terrorists, either directly or indirectly, and that it is now impossible to tell who is and is not a terrorist, the Russians might have to adopt methods that have not been seen on this earth for hundreds of years. And by that I mean go in and kill every living thing in the region and wipe radical Islam totally out of the Carcasses.
I was looking around for a book of condolences, such as we had for us after Sept. 11. If there are any Christians around, and you know of something we on the Internet could send to Beslan, please email me @ nanhwmd@aol.com.
Sure, but the armed civilians should have been kept back, perhaps to enforce a perimeter. The civilians had no fire discipline, according to the Moscow Times article, and seem to have worsened the situation.
