I tend to shy away from polical or international commentary on thynk, but the Beslan killings really bothered me. I felt Doc Searls was able to voice some of what I felt in his weblog entry, The Beslan corner.
"In Beslan, the bad guys didn't just kill civilians. They killed children. Worse, they apparently carefully planned killing children they knew.
With the 911 attacks, Al Qaeda attacked symbols. Killing innocents was part of the plan, but not the whole purpose. Planes full of innocents were flown into highly symbolic buildings." [via The Doc Searls Weblog]
It was different with Beslan.
