Yes, but it is hard to sit back and let them kill kids. I do not envy Putin in this situation.

I agree. We can all pray for the safety of the children. I say give them whatever they want - get the children to safety then go after them with everything you have. This is what you call being between a rock and a hard place.

As long as all the terrorists die, it is a success.

It was reported today that the President of Osetia had offered to release 50 of the terrorist's cohorts today but it was turned down. source: gazeta.ru

President of Osetia, Alexander Dzasohov, said that the terrorists were offered the freedom of 50 of their cohorts who were seized back in June. A deal was almost made, but at the last moment the terrorists backed down.

The real question is what the Russians will do AFTER this is over, especially if there are significant numbers of children killed.

They probably don't have time to think about it now. I would guess, tough - Lukos got busted today. It speaks volumes. Putin ain't gonna surrender, cause that means death.

Negotiate with terrorists, and you will get more terrorism.

Negotiation in hostage situations is okay. In fact, the longer you negotiate, the more you wear the terrorists down.

Now, if you meant to say that you don't capitulate to terrorists or you will get more terrorism, I agree 100%.

My nbc school notes are a little hazy....is BZ the hallucenagenic gas or the vomit gas? That would be projectile vomiting, btw. I'm told it makes that gross scene in the original Exorcist movie look pale by comparison.

Why are the kids naked?

At first I thought maybe the terrorists had doused their clothes in something flammable, but a more commonplace explanation is that these children were toddlers in diapers or very young children who soiled themselves because the terrorists wouldn't allow them to use the bathroom.
