Dozens dead in Russia

Today, January 24th, Russia was attacked at their International Airport. The original article can be found HERE.

Several Terrorists (exact number unknown) blew themselves up at a cafe near the exit for the international customs at Domodedovo Airport (Moscow's busiest airport). At least 35 are dead and up to 140 were injured.


The Russian President had this to say:

"From the preliminary information we have, it was a terror attack," Medvedev told officials in a televised briefing. He offered condolences to the families of the victims and ordered that security be stepped up at Moscow's two other commercial airports and other transport facilities, including the subway system, the target of past terrorist attacks.


As members of the international community we bear a responsibility to protect the right of those around us. These repeat attacks are not acceptable. We absolutely should do all we can to stop them. I honestly don't know if the best solution would be a kind and gentle one or further military action. I'm not a expert in the subject. But I do believe that we should act on this. All those people who died are leaving behind them loved ones who cherished them. That love deserves respect and action.

  3. It's extremely sad this occured. But what would further military action do? I think that's what terrorists want, their goal is to stir people up so they respond with hatred and violence. If any action is to be taken then it must be one of peace.
