Of course, everything is still in chaos as surviving chidren and other hostages are rushed to local hospitals and emergency centers in Beslan, Russia. But the media spin is starting already- putting the blame for this brutal and inexcusable atrocity on the Russian RESCUERS instead of clearly and squarly where ti belongs - on the Ilamic and Arabic TERRORISTS.
I'm just waiting to see how long before the figure out a way to blame Israel and the Jews for it. This is the New World Agenda. Look how brilliantly appeasement is working in Iraq.
Welcome to our brave new world where cold, calculating terrorists take a schoolful of little children and their parents and teachers hostage - hold them in high heat for 3 days with no food or water, surround them with shrapnel filled mines, shoot them, torture and murder them and then .....the blame for this is placed on the rescuers and we are asked to understand the pressures that caused the terrorists to do what they did. Does this include the 10 Arab mercenaries in the hotage-taking terrorist gang? Probably, it'll even give the media the opening for blaming Israel - and probably the US as well. Why shift the blame?
Ah, there's the rub. The West MUST shift the blame. If we ever stop shifting the blame, we might be forced to look at the facts. To place the blame on the terrorists themselves. To admit there might be other cultures that do not define peace as we do, who do not want the sort of peaceful, tolerant civilization we want. We might have to admit the lessons history should have taught us.
My take is we need zero tolerance for terrorists. Zero tolerance for hostage takers.
