Moscow Bombings

[Safetyhit]

Russia has some loathsome allies, as well as business partners. Surely we can all agree. They are no angels and do deserve some ethical backlash.

But that still has nothing to do with the common folk in the subway who are just going to and from work. The Chechen war technique is so poor and unethical that it will be their undoing, and very rightfully so.

After Belsan, I couldn't care less what the repercussions are.

I agree. Its fun to watch the Bear dole out some retribution since they don't give a shit about being PC.

Do Islamic extremists always bite the hand that feeds them? As others have said, Russia is supporting their efforts in Iran and Syria, supplying them with small arms - RPG's and AK's, and recognizing as an ally anyone who denounces the US.

So now with the backing of a major nuclear power that keeps the US and Israel from going too far, they want to piss them off too? Talk about trying to ensure they have no friends left in the world.

I hope the Russians go medieval.

Just like it was in the movie theater in 2002. Even though the theater was pumped full of fentanyl and everyone was passed out, somehow most of the terrorists had bullet holes in the foreheads...

I don't think the FSB should take ANY prisoners. If our government's hands are tied by the PC police Russia's sure aren't.

And 150 hostages took an eternal dirt nap.

That's the kind of "rescue" I could do without.

The US, Russia, and the countries of the EU all love to play the various Islamic factions around as proxies for our political goals. We think that we can "control" our own little Islamic devils. The Russians support the Iranians to foil US interests in Western Asia, the US supports the Mujaheddin to cripple the Soviet Union, part of whom become the Taliban and support Al Qaeda (and we were even happy to provide support for Chechnya until Beslan), and even Israel provides arms to Pakistan who turns around and supports Hammas, no one in the West is really taking the threat of Islam as serious as they should and it will come back to bite us as it already has. You may see it as biting the hand that feeds them, but in the eyes of the Islamic fundamentalists we are all the Infidel and will all either submit, convert, or die in time, and they have no allegiance to anyone who is not of their particular brand of Islam. Until the Western powers (including Russia) put down their regional squabbles and recognize this for the cultural war that it is, there will never be a unified front against Islamic terror.

The only saving grace we have is that the Islamic fundamentalists are even more divided as the West is.

Prayers to the fallen and their families. May the Russians do to the Chechens what the Chechens did to those 7. Russ. conscripts some years back.

While I have no doubt that the Russians, who do not practice PC to a great extent (which is kind of funny as the concept originated there kind of), will swiftly mete out justice to those involved, lets hope that they don't go overboard and hurt a lot of innocent people in their rounding up and executing the perpetrators. They kind of have a history of using a sort of terror themselves -- rounding up groups of people claimed to be part of whatever enemy they were attacking at the time -- without necessarily getting all the right people or really caring.
