Beslan is representative of a much older and much more infamous political movement that hasn't reared it's ugly head since the early 20th century. That is anarchism, which has recently merged with Islamic radicalism. There were a whole bunch of assasinations of presidents, czars in the late 19th and early 20th century attached to no political demands except to somehow bring down the state and revert to some sort of governmentless utopia. For Example, President William Mckinley was assasinated by anarchists. World war I was started by an assasination by an anarchist.

In the Russian tradition, there might be more nihilism than anarchism in this toxic stew.

Not just an anarchist--a Masonic anarchist.

The fact that he was Masonic bolsters the 'anarchy' theory ONLY to the extent that the Masons hold a "world government" as the ideal. (And they do...)

Anarchists suck ping

You are really on to something with your references to late 19th century anarchism linked with pan-Arabism and Wahabbi idealism. See the really great book by Paul Berman, Terror and Liberalism.

This article is nonsense. The Beslan massacre is ONE thing I think we can safely exonerate Clinton from blame on.

I've hated him enough already. I'd prefer to hate the child-killers now.
