"So don't assign what others have said to me. That just blows holes in your already weak arguments."

"I remember just a few months ago, right here in FR, FReepers holding the Russians accountable..."

I get it now, you have some sort of reading deficiency. Please show me where I am assigning anything to you in my statement.

"I remember just a few months ago, right here in FR, FReepers holding the Russians accountable..."

Hence, because others said it, I am implying that YOU (meaning me) must have to.

So, you are trying to deny you "implied" it?

[BushisTheMan]

The assumption by the poster, and the majority of the people responding to her post, was that the media was purposely not mentioning (covering up) the fact that there were Arabs among the terrorists.

Well, don't you know about ASSUME'ing anything....it makes an A$$ out of U and ME.

[Luis Gonzalez]

You assumed it as did most other posters.

[BushisTheMan]

Wrong, I actually thought it was only Chechnyan separatists (i.e., terrorists).

[Luis Gonzalez]

Then you are woefully uninformed.

Chechen terrorists ARE Muslims.

Maybe you are someone who does need a remedial news course.

[BushisTheMan]

Chechen terrorists ARE Muslims.

There is nationality (Chechnyn, Russian, Arab) And there is religion (Muslim, Christian, etc.) hello...did I ever say the word Muslim? No. You are getting desperate to make a point..any point.

Im not sure which is worse, this horrible atrocity commited by the Chechen Islamic terrorists or the irrational anger and unbridled hatred of those commenting on these images. Moral people have been hunting barbarians since the dawn of what they themselves call "civilization". If this method worked there wouldn't be any terrorists remaining would there? Anyway, we aren't the first to think of it; do these names come to mind?: Roman Empire, the Inquisition, European Crusaders, Nazi party to name a few?

So what's the source of evil then? We kill the guilty and yet it remains, what's happening,hmm? Every "civilized" society on record has committed acts of violence, so surely its not a matter of a distinct few "infected" people causing the problem. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT IT IS! YOU AND ME, WE ARE ALL THE SOURCE OF EVIL! We are at war with ourselves, every bit of uncontrolled anger and every batch of unimaginative, stupid ideals.
Is it so hard to believe that maybe these Chechan separatists look at those children and they dont see children? That perhaps they only see the obscure political goals of their peers or the red haze in anger? In this case the enemy is not flesh and blood the enemy is an empty soul and an ignorant mind. Perhaps we would make a wiser choice to set a postitive example for the rest of humanity in what I like to call the "good parent effect". If we can make our enlightenment so obvious that denying it would be the equivalent of denying the breath within us, then perhaps we would convince the terrorists that their cause, their violence against us is meaningless.

I suggest that everyone should use this time to reflect upon their daily lives and actions.
