Russian School Hostage Crisis

My heart goes out to the families that have been torn apart by this savage act of terrorism.

Russian forces have killed 10 of the terrorists...nine were Arab?

Geez...who woulda thunk it?

Are these the last ditch efforts of a race of people about to be defeated? Or the culmination of logistics and planning by a stronger, more focus and angry foe?

Your Republicans would say the former, that we have terrorists running scared. Your Democrats would say the latter, that terrorists have more reason than ever to act desperate, based on our occupation of the middle east, and the rest of the world's seeming reluctance to make us stop.

I hate seeing the planes go down and the school plundered, as much as I hated seeing the planes crash into the twin towers and the Pentagon. People are needlessly dying, and it don't matter if they write their N's forward or backward. We are dealing with a race of hateful beings that don't even deserve to be called 'human', for their callous disregard for life.

As a response, freedoms are trampled, suspicions are framed, and the world is worse off.
