Beslan.

Say that name to most Americans and get a blank look.

[wku man]

Yup. That went through my mind.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

“Beslan.

a couple of years ago iwas flying east and my seat mate was an american detective who had investigated breslan. he may have even written a book. anyway i knew what he was talking about and what he told me was even worse than what was reported. i am suprised it hasn’t happened here.

[Hardraade]

You can say almost anything to most Americans and get a blank look.

Words that can raise a twitch of consciousness are “iphone”, “wii”, “mohammed”, “green”, “progressive”, “communism”, “sharia” and “islam”.

[eccentric]

got it from me. I first saw Beslan on another thread and had to guess what it was

[submarinerswife]

Oh my. I remember Beslin. It was one of the worst terrorist attacks on civilians (they slaughtered those children)that I ever remember reading about. Horrible stuff. Just horrible.

[Cloverfarm]

I thought of Beslan, too. :*(

I am glad God is just, and the gunman is in hell but the innocents are in Heaven.
