This number has been rising all day.
I am just sick about this.
CNN just put this information up in their 'breaking' format.
To the Russian Government and the Russian people;
As the grandson of two Russian immigrants from what is now the Ukraine, my heart goes out to you in light of the terrorist killings in the Beslan school. I pray for those students who were hurt and for the families of all who were taken hostage.
I was in New York City two months to the day after the terrorists destroyed the Twin Tower Buildings in New York. I attended Mass that day at Saint Patrick's church in New York City and heard prayers for the missing from the parish and for those who were known to be dead. I took a subway down to "ground zero" and the experience changed me. After that, I have no qualms about my government killing terrorists where ever they may be found or about invading any country that shelters and protects terrorists.
I pray for those families in the city of Beslan and I also pray for the Russian troops (and their families) that will be sent to track down those who sent these terrorists to Beslan. God's speed to your soldiers on their mission.
I personally would like to see the perps beheaded and their heads stuck on poles after incidents like this.
It provides comfort tor the populace and a warning to all who partake in this venue.
It is a time-honored practice afterall!
Is there an address so that we may send condolences to the families that have lost loved ones in this tragedy..maybe the Russian Embassy...where would I find that?
We can try to keep this from falling down the memory hole.
Everyone needs to see these pictures. We can ask Fox to help.
