Post Gas Attack in Russia

Again its mix emotion time.

If they hadn't used some form of gas and didn't adhere to the demands of the terrorists, the terrorists would have certainly blown themselves up along with the everyone else and the building.

Using the gas probably saved lots of lives. But who knows, it may have been resolved peaceably, I personally doubt it.

But, the use of gas of anykind seems so barbarious to me and most folks. Yet when dealing with radical Muslims you must take extreme measures.

I would also think that a simple blood test could have told you what the agent was they use. (Probably don't have that type of sophisticated equipment in Russia.)

This will be debated for years to come.
