Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Behold the face of evil

Esquire Magazine has a gripping article by C.J. Chivers on the Beslan hostage tragedy. It is based on eyewitness accounts of people caught up in the horrific events.

Not always easy to read, it is a vivd portrayal of the nature of terrorists.

As mentioned in the previous posts, one of the planners of this, Shamil Basayev, was killed by Russian forces.

But can there ever truly be justice for such an act?
