...On the other hand there is no reason to use this as an excuse to get revenge against someone who was not involved.


Do you have kids around their age? I do...look up a few posts. People here have seen pics of my son, who I love more than life itself. I would have no problems avenging his death, or die trying.
My son is a part of me. I will kill or die for him. No questions asked, no exceptions made. Period.



I think we have a slight missunderstanding. My point was that we should not use this as an excuse to attack those who were NOT involved in it. This was an horrible act by a small group of Chechens and some hired guns, not something endored by Iran, or Iraq, or Saudi Arabia, or any other Islamic country. A lot of the posts of the first page seem to support the idea of using nuclear weapons. Most of those responsible for this attack are already dead, or soon will be from what I've read in news sources. Anything done with a nuke would be hurting even more innocents.


                                                                                                                                                       

Side note: I'm 21, so I don't have kids yet. Though if someone threatened my friends I would do anything I could to help them, but I would not resort to shooting uninvolved people at over theological differences or nuking an uninvolved country.



just a thought but -- It would serve as a deterrant. A terrorist may give his life for the chance to kill a christian. But if he knows that he would be giving the lives of all of his family and friends(involved or not) he may see that the price of his actions is too high.-- just a thought

Russia's problem is our problem.  Our enemies have much in common and many ties.  These pictures need to be shoved in the face of every antiwar/pro-Palestinian/pro-Saddam nutcase in America and Europe.  This is what we're dealing with.  These people -- the ones who hide behind a false religion and use it to rationalize their depravity -- must be eliminated.

Meanwhile, I promise you, all of mainstream Islam will remain still in the face of these atrocities . . . continuing to quietly promote future offenses.  That alone speaks volumes about this blight on humanity.  They will never clean house and they will never reform because this is who they are at their very core.

And yes, this will come to the Homeland.  We will see this happen in America.  And law enforcement will be powerless to prevent it.  They will only be able to address these events after they start.  Only an armed civilian majority is capable of quickly cutting short this sort of thing.

I wonder how long he will survive in this world. If he believes in Jesus Christ as his Lord and savior as I do, I fear he will suffer and die because of it.

Though, we may walk through the valley of death, we will fear no evil. The Lord is with us all the days of our lives and through eternity in the next.

Bodies of schoolchildren killed in a school seizure seen in Beslan, North Ossetia, Friday, Sept. 3, 2004. Russia's hostage crisis erupted into explosions, gunfire and screams of fleeing children Friday as commandos stormed the school where militants strapped with bombs had held as many as 1,200 people hostage. More than 150 people were dead, and officials said the toll would rise significantly. (AP Photo/Sergey Ponomarev)

Yeah. There's something I remember from my Vietnam History class. Always people talking about how the VC won because they had "more will to win". Remember the end comments by Kurtz in Apolalypse Now about "will"?

Do I like grouping whole groups together? Not really, no. But hey, we had to carpet bomb German cities too in order to win. Sometimes you have to do a lot of nasty things that we regret are necissary.

I agree you can't paint the entire religion for the actions of some but where does it stop?  If we had said the same thing about Germans in Nazi Germany or citizens in Japan prior to WWII we would never have taken action.  I have no doubt that the vast majority of citizens of both those countries were good honest people you would be proud to call friends.  

The same can be said of Islam.  No doubt the vast majority have no part in the actions of terrorists.  The problem is who is going to sort good from bad?  The majority may not approve of the actions of the few but they aren't condemning it or stopping it within their own communities either.  They therefor are responsible.

We as well as almost all other powers across the world have bought sensitive wars since the end of WWII.  UN/US vs. North Korea, France vs. Vietnam, France vs. Algeria, US vs Vietnam, Soviet Union vs. Afghanistan, US vs Iraq (first Gulf War), Russia vs. Chechnya, US vs Iraq (second Gulf War).  Not one of these conflicts has yet to be successful for the vastly superior country involved.  Not one of these conflicts have involved total war on the scale of wars fought prior to the Korean Conflict.

I again wish to state I don't believe in the "Nuke em all" school of thought but it is time we take the gloves off in our efforts to stamp out radical Islam.  It is only when your enemy is convinced he is defeated he will cease to fight you.  An enemy will not be convinced he is defeated when he and his compatriots have not sufficiently suffered consequences for their actions.

It is time terrorists, those who harbor them and even those who refuse to condemn them suffer consequences for their actions or inactions.

Guys/Gals,
I have lost it at work.  I was sitting here trying to kill some time before I head home and now I have tears streaming down my face.  Those pictures are searing into my memory.  Especially that poor lady stroking the head of her dead child - looking to be the same age as one of my three daughters.  It's making me feel ill.

What has this world come to?  Those beautiful, innocent, young people - killed by satans angels.  That's what these Islamic extremists are.  Followers of the Devil.  Is this the beginning of the end?  Is Christ going to make his grand re-entrance shortly?  If so, I say bring it on Jesus, am I fully prepared to battle these demons with you.

I am rambling now - sad, sick, angry - I need to go home and hold my girls.

I keep hearing over and over that Islam is not the enemy here. For many years I agreed with that statement. But the more time goes by, the more I am starting to see that maybe Islam IS the enemy of us and every non-Islamic nation in the world.

If you don't believe me, look at the following example:

In the US, we too have our terrorist groups. The KKK comes to mind. The KKK claims to do what they do on behalf of Christianity. Yet what has the public in this nation done? The American public and Christians have condemned this group and hold nothing but contempt for them and their ways. When they rally or commit an act of terrorism, the public doesn't cheer them. Instead, they rise in a great mass to denounce them.

Now take these terrorists from Islamic regions. Use Al-Qaida or Hezbollah for example. They commit their acts of death and destruction in the name of their religion also. Yet how does their public react? They cheer in the streets! They don't come out in force mad as hell to denounce these attacks. Those who don't show public support remain silent. What message does that send? It tells me that if they don't publicly support it, they at least do so privately.

That's the difference between them and us. That's the difference between Christianity and Islam.

I've tried to type this post in the rage I'm feeling while being as respectable as possible to those of the Islamic faith. I also hope to avoid causing any trouble here and to avoid conflict with the CoC. But I have to say my above comments are just what I feel. To me, it's as clear as day. And I will voice my opinion because deep in my heart I feel that I am right in saying what I've said. Until Islam denounces such acts I will always feel the religion as a whole is largely to blame and at fault. If the terror conducted by the radical Islamists comes from a small minority as they claim, then where is the voice of the majority? That is why I feel the way I do.

If this is true, that place is more "free" than where I live.  Here, doing that would get you gunned down by the po-po without a second thought, and it would fly just fine "while we regret the fact that a person who was not involved lost his life, we can't have a civilian running around with a rifle, he was a danger to everyone in the area".

I don't think killing off all Muslims would solve the problem. MSNBC reported that 9 were Arab mercenaries, but this was organized by Chechen rebels. Apparently during negotiations the bandits/terrorists demanded independance for Chechnya, so these are definately not Muslims who were out to pursue a religious war against Christianity.

I can understand why the Russian civilians grabbed their rifles and headed for the school. Many of them were probably trying to save their kids. On the other hand there is no reason to use this as an excuse to get revenge against someone who was not involved.

The operation of Russian special forces for the rescue of all hostages in a Beslan school has been completed, according to a statement by General Viktor Sobolev, chief commander of 58th army.

Russian NTV quoted him saying that a total of 556 people, including 322 children, were hospitalized in the local hospital.

Seventy-nine bodies of the hundred-and-more casualties were identified, most of them were shot in the rear while trying to escape from the besieged school.



Apparently three tangos were captured and are being "worked with", which hopefully means torture of some kind or another.
