Beslan Funerals

Posted on September 5, 2004 by sheila

The funeral of 2 sisters, Irina and Alina Tetova (ages 13 and 12), murdered in Beslan.

There is nothing to say here. These people’s wounds will never be healed. Their children are dead.

    Well said, Sheila. This is horribly painful to see–all these children, just little kids, for God’s sake. For me, it is the same wound of 9/11, reopened by the same assailants. As I have said to you before, the lack of clarity and recognition of this threat in so many is difficult to understand. These are not people with whom we can debate, compromise, appease, or approach with “nuance.” Those who can coldly shoot little children down are inarguably evil–not repressed, not victims, not rebels, not responding in the only way they have available to them–they are evil. This is an elusive and nebulous enemy. I pray the world has the necessary resolve to deal with them, and I pray for the families of the dead that they may find some way to go in life. When I think of my own son, the magnitude of this human loss is shattering.

    Agree. There is no excuse ever for this sort of thing. Evil. Evil. Evil.
