I read a detailed account of the Beslan school siege. It was horrific .... kids/teachers were drinking their own urine, little girls were being taken off by terrorists & raped. The Russians were desperate to end it and the parents were desperate for it to end as well. I think it’s a situation where you do what you think you need to do at the time - 20-20 hindsight is always going to result in criticisms. Same thing happened with Columbine ... now tactics have changed with police trying to get in as soon as possible rather than waiting.
The parents, in their grief, want someone to blame. The ultimate blame lies with the Islamic terrorists for without them, none of this would have happened. My biggest fear regarding terrorists in this country is an American “Beslan”.
“little girls were being taken off by terrorists & raped”
I am not challenging you but asking a sincere question.
Having spent a considerable amount of time looking into Beslan, I could never discover a first hand account or factual circumstance (medical, for instance) that verified the allegation of rapes.
Do you have a source or link? (And yes I see the assertion made quite often, I have never seen it made in the context of evidence).
