damn bastards
I know I am not suppose to be blogging but I just watched something that made me so upset that I simply had to write it down.
Just now I was watching a documentry on the hostage situation in the Moscow theatre which happened about 2 yrs ago. I knew about this incident but this just brings back sad memories of this tragedy. Chechen rebels had seized a theatre full of innocent audience and demanded negotiations with the Russian government. It appears that from the start the president, vladimir putin, never intended to seek to end the situation through peaceful negotiations. Right from the start putin had asked the FSB, the russian secret police, to find some way to assualt the theatre. There was no regards for the 900+ hostages inside. No food and water aid was ever organised, negotiations merely to drag for time, and when the special forces attacked with poison gas, there simply was no preparation made to evacuate the hostages. No proper first aid was availiable on scene, the russian govt never gave antidotes to the rescuers, they refused to tell medical staff what gased to use and simply did not care about the human lives in the theatre. All they wanted was to kill the rebels. Some of the female rebels who were knocked out by the gas were shot at point-blank. In total 129 hostages died, some simply because they went unconsious and their tongue slid back and caused them to choke to death. Later under international pressure the russian govt revealed that it used a poison that was usually used on terminally ill cancer patients, and the dosage was 5 times above the normal. Putin is such a bastard. To hell with him. What happened to him? Nothing. But then again, who can we blame? Ourselves. His popularity rating was still at 70% after the incident. Similarly in Iraq, more than a 1000 mothers have lost their children in a war we see no end to, but somehow George Bush is elected to a 2nd term. Coincidently today I wrote my gp essay was on "Why despite international efforts, is world peace so elusive?"". one point I wrote was that some people just ignore international organisations and wage wars as they please. But do you realise who support these bloodthirsty creatures? Us. I should have added this in:"As long as there are a few bloodthirsty individuals with little contempt for life, and a whole bunch of idiots supporting them, you can kiss world peace goodbye." Last year alot of kids were killed in another hostage situation in a school in russia. The goddamn president and his govt won't budge. If there is another hostage situation in russia I sure as hell can tell you alot of people will get killed. At this rate peace in chechnya will only be acheived when either all chechens are dead or putin is put out of power. we have to stop supporting the wrong people.
