The tragic siege of the school in Russia has come to an end, but its horror will continue to reverberate for weeks and maybe even years to come.
For even though the Russian people bear the brunt of this unjustifiable assault, it also serves as a warning to the United States and any other world power standing in opposition to the barbarity of modern terrorism.
Though the incident is portrayed as one of Chechen separatism and independence, buried in various news accounts is the tidbit that Arabs were also discovered to be part of the operation. Such mercenaries could very well be Al Qaeda.
Since the attack on the train in Spain is believed to have been a rehearsal for a future election season attack upon the U.S,, this new tactic of targeting school children doesn’t bode well for civilized nations.
Discerning Americans are forced to ask how long until rabid sandmonkeys pull a stunt like this here. Terrorists could very well hold a school here hostage and threaten to harm the pupils should voters reelect President Bush to public office.
When it happens, one can only hope liberals will realize just how useless tolerance, multiculturalism and open borders are in dealing with those who make children drink their own urine as transpired during the siege at the Russian school.
Sadly, such a tragedy will probably the only thing that might disimbue these naive progressives of their misguided view of the world. After all, it has been said that a liberal is a conservative that hasn’t been mugged yet.
Having to pick between unspeakable tragedies, too bad such a jarring lesson couldn’t be taught during one of those antiwar protest rallies instead of snuffing out the lives of innocent children who’ve yet to take any kind of position whatsoever in regards to current world conflicts.
