I'm so bone tired of violence. Gunmen took over a 1,000 people hostage four days ago in Beslan, Russia, including almost 800 children. We tried for two days to get them to talk, to let hostages go. Yesterday the military stormed the school.

Oh, gods. They killed 186 children. At least. We don't have completely accurate counts because people are still missing, but it's estimated that near 400 people died. I don't know what to do.

It hurts. I can't sleep. Can't do anything but sit here and cry.

186 children.

Why?

Violence should never be the answer.
