I'm nauseated right now, too disguisted and shocked to even cry, to even speak. To understand what I'm talking about, go here: http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/09/06/russia.school/index.html
I've been following this story since Thursday, emersing myself in each and every cnn update. To read it, to know what happened, reminds me of our own septembeb 11th, and the aching I felt in every part of my body, knowing what happened and wanting to know why. This travisty in Russia is one of the most inhumane, unhuman! things I've ever heard of. Children who had no guilt in them, no blood yet on their hands, the very people in theis world who are sinless, were the ones targeted. I wish so badly that those 30 terrorists were still living, so that each and every person in this world could look at them, spit at them, kill them a thousand times over. I know I say revenge is not an answer, but how could thirty people honestly kill children in the name of...of what? Did they make a stand, did they prove their point? Was is anger against Putin? Was it another cry of wanton for Chechnya to be free? I just don't understand. I'm in tears trying to comprehend who could ever do this? Rapists, murderers, obviously something's wrong with them. But for thirty. different. minds. to all think that killing children, making them suffer in unimaginable ways, was the right thing to do...I just want to know why. And on my own personal note..Where is Bush? Maybe nobody came to our aid after Sept. 11th, but when we are aiding Israel, when we are involved in so many other foreign affairs, why is Bush not at Putin's side, giving him support both verbally and aiding Russia materialistically?

I want so badly to have faith in people, to be convinced that they are indeed good at heart, and that all sins that cause harm to others are simply...a glitch in that person's mind. But this just astounds me as to what human beings are capable of.

To every child, parent, teacher, and police personelle that died from Wednesday, September 1, to Friday, September 3, in that standoff in Russia...I pray for you, I hope you each find solace in heaven and in your second life, and our lives, and the lives of your families, will stay ever engraved in my heart. Rest in peace.
