The trouble is that I'm sitting here at my computer, several timezones away from all of this. I'm sure Russians are capable of atrocities and the Chechnyan's certainly deserve justice. But I don't know the full story from either side. What I do know is that holding children hostage is wrong.
This little girl had nothing to do with what is happening in Chechnya. It is never ok to involve her in events like this. Her parents probably didn't have anything to do with it either. Thanks to the terrorists, I am on the side of the Russians. That is the thing I don't get. If you kill innocents like that it makes me want to stop you at all costs, not sympathise with you.
You know what else? I didn't bomb Hiroshima. As far as I know nobody that made that decision is in power in the United States today. Maybe we could stop having that flung in our faces sometime soon? That'd be swell.
