You people only see the negative!! Look on the bright side the MAJORITY of the hostages were saved and the explosives werent detonated.If the gass wasnt used maybe the death toll would be ALL of the hostages.Then everyone would be criticizeing the Russians inaction and how they allowed the hostages to be killed.IMNSHO the Russians did the best they could with what they had.Useing the gass was their best chance for success and since the majority of the hostages survived I would say it was a smashing success. Someone posted on here that an article on AOL said that the russians were executeing unconsious terrorists. That is definately a step in the right direction!! Why send someone with a rifle in their hand and a bomb strapped to their chest through the legal system? All it does is waste time and slow down the inevitable, or maybe they are innocent of any wrong doing and it is all just a big misunderstanding. Maybe the bomb just magicaly appeared and strapped itself to them and the rifle forced itself upon them. The government should treat terrorists caught in the act just like a home owner would treat a house breaker, like an opportunity for target practise!![/QUOTE]Erm we're not actually seeing only the negative side, what we're really discussing is what could've been done to improve the rescue results [img]smile.gif[/img] Aftera ll every single human life "does" matter. As for you suggesting that it IS ok to kill unconscious terrorists, NO, that is wrong. The cause of justice is not served this way. Yes the inevitable might be an execution, agreed, but that doesnt take a man's right to stand in a fair trial. Plus DO we even know the reason behind this act. I think its time the curtains should be lifted and the point of the other side be also seen and discussed. I'm sorry but i'm not exactly the "political" type, perhaps someone else can enlighten me [img]smile.gif[/img]
Andrew: Thanks for correcting me [img]smile.gif[/img] My "plan" was based on something i read a while ago about robotics in the newspaper and some articles [img]smile.gif[/img] Oh and an addition question have they found a way to remotely disable plastic explosives ?
