Another Eye Opening Book
Terror At Beslan. By John Giduck. Now this book may give you nightmares Tiff. It is written towards law enforcement so some chapters you may skim over as its on what to do during an attack on a school but the book is a real eye opener to the Terrorism going on over in Russia and how we (USA) have helped contribute to our current terrorism problem, how it all got started and where we are at today. It's a deep book and not one you read quickly.( I actually read it on the side of reading normal fun books).
It really made me aware of Chechnya and it's issues which now I keep hearing about it in the news.
Some artists have openly resisted going to the country while others have not. (Seal, Shakira--denied the below rumor)
"Last week, sources in Russia?s war-ravaged Chechnya region in the North
Caucasus said Shakira would be attending the leader?s 35th birthday
celebration with other notables such as US film stars Kevin Costner,
Hilary Swank and Eva Mendes, along with British violinist Vanessa-Mae."
This books makes me a little crazy on the fact of I would actually consider home schooling after reading this.
As dh and I discuss on a regular basis it's going to happen soon in the USA it's just when and where. And we aren't safe in NE just because we are in the middle.
If you read it let me know. Would love to discuss.
