Second blast this week.

I worry about the safety of the Olympians.  My heart goes out to the average Russian citizen, the victim of this wave of terrorism.

Saw that.  The Chechens do have a knack for striking while the iron is hot...

Russia has been fighting Islamic extremism for a long time.

Terrible. Christmas is in two weeks over there (for the Old Calendar), and the olympics coming around the corner.

is it to harsh to comment on how you reap what you sow?
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Russia has been battling the Chechens for hundreds of years this is nothing new.
Here's a good Google read about the history of the Chechen/Russian wars.
Tolstoy served in Chechnya with the Russian army.
  The insurgency in Chechnya and the North Caucasus.

oh there are lots and lots of regional ethnic groups that are still pissed over what the Tsar and Soviet governments did to them.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

The Sovs/Ruskies certainly have sewn their share, but let's face it: radical islamics hate regarless of past history.

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,

If Chechens seeking independence from Russia were attacking Russian government/military targets, that would be one thing. But using suicide bombers to attack civilians on public transportation, THAT is another thing entirely- imho.

In my view these radical islamics are little different than recycled anarchists of a century before.

They would rather spread chaos and destruction than work toward a better situation.

Public outcry at murdering civilians seems to depend on who does the bombing.  Nelson Mandela, Menachem Begin, and Yitzhak Shamir spring to mind as ones who somehow got away with it.
