Wanted to write about this atrocity the day I heard of it, but was unsuccessful in pasting it onto the blog. Now the incidence occured to me again and again, as if the children who died in the massacre could never rest in peace, their images would go on haunting humankind for years. Even wars have rules, in their own way. Normally, countries at war try to avoid harming civilians - though this point is highly disputatious - soldiers do not purposely attack civilians. But this time, they went after the most innocent and most vulnerable human beings - children. The first day of school! What a timing! It would make possible to capture maximum number of school children. What a plot! How smart! And children! Putin has always stood up as a hardliner against Chechen repels, yes he still is. So these Chechen repels went after the most treasured lives on this Earth, the children! The kids! They must had wished that Putin would then under unusual pressure to compromise, they must had wished that by putting these innocent lives at stake, Putin would then agree to release the prisoners. What a ploy! How smart! What a life-defying act. What a heart-breaking masaacre. For me, children is the greatest source of inspiration. Didn't Tagore say that every child is reminder that God has not lost hope in men? Aren't children the only hope left on this stained Earth? Who can deny them the chances of experiencing more in lives? Who are they to take away these children's right to live, to explore, to excel, to love, to laugh?! I can't think of possibly other crimes as worse as this one in mordern times, at such a scale, at such a inhuman level.

回复:Beslan School Masaacre
Wars is the greatest invention of men, and following the terriosim... Both of them can turn human-beings into monsters regardless who they were. It is expected that Putin will not surrender and it's expected that some nightmare will occur, but not such a massacre can be expected by anyone... I happened to hear the sounds of guns and cries and helicopters in the radio, and the sound lasts so long...
