ALL OUT WAR
My knee-jerk reaction to cowardly dispicable terrorist attacks like the one on the Russian Elementary school is get them and kill them, no negotiotions, no diplomacy, no trying to find a solution the the root problems, little consideration for civilians and the general population the terrorist are living amongst.
This rationale seems to be what the Russians have done since the beginning of the Chechen Seperatist movement. Unfortunatley against a highly determined enemy that is not afraid of death, this strategy is not working. Russia has been fighting an all out war against Chechen Separtist and Terrorist for years and years. Yet, Russias problem with Chechen terrorism is only getting worse and worse.
No matter how much we want revenge and justice, sometimes all out war is not the answer, for it rarely works against a determined enemy.
