Sooner or later, To the moon !

I thought the same thing about the reunion of the family in the story. But then sadly realized that whatever the people's names and ages - many families will never be together again.

Prayers for the families. Prayers for the kids in pain in the hospitals. In pain with torn-apart limbs, gashed faces, broken bones, internal organs ripped apart. And little hearts and minds that will never have a child's innocence again.

And little hearts and minds that will never have a child's innocence again.

Can you imagine the horror these poor little kids will have to live with the rest of their lives?

Everyone of the dogs that carryed out this crime against humanity needs to be hunted down and killed!

That's right, if Sep. 11 had happened on Sep. 30, we'd have heard about how it was "last month" the very next day. If that foiled millenium bombing of LAX had gone off on Dec. 31, 1999, we'd have heard about how it happened "last year" as soon as the clock tolled midnight.

the fate of the little 6 year old girl 

She's alive

I used to think that, politically speaking, the Palis were the absolute dumbest people on the planet... They've been bumped down to #2, behind the Chechnyans....

Whatever world sympathies they had during the 1st war with Russia, and somewhat during the second, are totally gone...

Images if babies being killed, schools being taken hostage... What could they POSSIBLY be thinking?

Recruiting Arabs to assist only makes their cause that much more despicable

Another lame, albeit tragic, attempt by Islamo-facists.

[NYC Republican]

There's one common theme here... These terrorist acts, for decades now, have almost all been perpetrated by Muslims, yet the media hides that fact... From the Mideast, to Africa, to Phillipines, to Chechnya...

Thank you for letting me know.

The most disturbing thing about the article is the little girl wanting to tell her mother what happened and the mother not letting her. In America, this little girl would get some help, but I fear nothing of the sort will happen in Russia.

I've been haunted by this story since I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old. I've thought time and time again about what I would do. I would have someone else take my 2 year old to saftey and stay with my 5 year old if that was an option. I would never vountarily flee and leave my child behind. I'm not faulting the mother here, just saying what I would like to think I would do in a similar situation.

I read the news that the 6-year old had been reunited as well. The Seattle times had about 6 articles on the school tragedy. In all of the articles, about 3 full pages worth, there was maybe 2 sentences that gave a HINT that these were muslims. Something like how the leader was thought to have been in Afghanistan with the taliban, and how a Saudi was his lieutenant, or something like that.

The headline should have been: "Islamic Radicals Murder Children" with a subtitle (from one of the articles) "Ceiling, walls and floor awash in blood".

[K. Smirnov]

Oh, no bother, it is English newspaper. Provided the fact that they have not closed a famous Finsburry mosque, the "rebels" seems to be a kind of british political correctness.
