The situation was resolved, but much innocent blood was spilled.

According to what the media here report, it appears that the entire thing could only escalate because of powerplays among two kinds of Russian Secret service.

It's a bizarre reminder of the "war" going on in George Orwell's "1984": the government could stop the attacks, but they don't want to because a population in fear of continual attacks is easier to control.
Sacrifice a few to control the masses.

I don't want to speculate too much, but when the Secret Services could have stopped everything but didn't and risk more than a thousand lives, only to display who's the boss - it's sickening.

Well, we know from the Bible that as long as there's not the Eternal Reign of the Lord, there will always be calamities, but praise be to the Lord that whatever happens, He will gain His goal.

Another display that everything is in God's hand despite man's actions, not because of man's actions.

We can pray for peace, and we can pray for the families of the victims. But only God can heal the wounds. Many have died, more have suffered. All this can never be undone by any man.
