More on the Beslan Massacre

From Harry's Place:

"We have been here before. Then, as now, there were some who were unable or unwilling to face the hard choices but some knew then - and we all know now -that the struggle had to be carried out. When it was all finished, the world vowed 'Never Again'. The analogy with the enemy that faced Europe and the world in the 1930's is not an exact one but it remains valid. Ask yourselves when was the last time gunmen filled with hate fired into the backs of fleeing children? When was the last time that women and children were herded into buildings, treated with callous inhumanity and then slaughtered?"
