Forces Storm Russia School With Hostages

5 minutes ago

By MIKE ECKEL, Associated Press Writer

BESLAN, Russia - Commandos seized control of a school in southern Russia where militants held hundreds of hostages Friday, Russian news agencies reported. The assault came after explosions boomed from the area and dozens of hostages ... fled.

The ITAR-Tass news agency said 160 children had been hurt in the raid and five militants were killed. Several of the militants who had captured the building Wednesday were seen running away and firing indiscriminately, and ITAR-Tass said five militants were killed.

The assault came after about 30 women and children hostages fled the building. Some children were covered in blood, some of them carried on stretchers. Many were only partly clothed because of the stifling heat in the gymnasium where they had been held since the militants took the building, and drank eagerly from bottles of water given to them once they reached safety.

I prefer to sit on the fench of things. They're simply victims of despair, desperation and anguish themselves. It's so easy to read the article (which will most definitely be articulated to picture them in a very bad light) and hurl anger induced curses at the terrorists. I have not lived their life, embraced their beliefs nor suffered their circustances (I have not read the article for that matter, just speaking in general), so I will not be able to comprehend what it is that has compelled them to such acts.

To me, the press tends to be too eager to present a narrow view of the complete picture. It's so convenient to hate the terrorist for their much publicised acts while failing to remember the many innocent lives of their people taken away by stray, legal firepower (again, speaking in general here).

I will say, (sorry for going against most readers, just as fttkllvr says, but...) I think that in A military position, when your fighting for your life, and for your cause, you might as well just go by A certain simple, but fair, law.

Play to win.

Not that i'm insensitive, its just that I believe that if I'm going to risk my life for A cause, I'm going to do whatever it is I have to, even hold up women and children to survive. Just A human instinct.

I'm Not Aware

Terrorists are not recognized governments therefore cannot be in military situations anymore than a common street thug can be in one.
