Global Community Must Isolate Terrorists - Putin's Special Envoy
2005-02-07
Terrorists must be completely isolated by the global community, believes the Russian President's special envoy on issues of international cooperation in the fight against terrorism and transnational crime, Anatoly Safonov. "The global community must completely isolate terrorists, blocking their access to financing and human resources and preventing their use of media to disseminate radical ideas," Mr. Safonov stated during the Riyadh international conference on the fight against terrorism. In an interview with RIA Novosti, he announced that the Russian delegation proposed introducing this notion in the final document of the conference, "emphasizing the importance of anti-terror education of the young generation."

"We must use all resources of society in order to accomplish this task. Education, culture, traditions, religions in various countries may differ, but the attitude toward terrorism and the approach toward fighting this evil must be the same. In other words, we are talking about the fight for the minds of our youth, for our future," Mr. Safonov emphasized. It is especially important, he stressed, to liberate the international cooperation in the sphere of the fight against terrorism from the double-standard policies. "We must clearly realize that there are no 'good' or 'bad' terrorists. The use of double standards, in particular toward Russia, toward events in Chechnya, interferes with Russia's efforts to fight terrorism effectively," Mr. Safonov underlined. "Both Russia and the West must assume a common position on the events in Chechnya," he stressed. "Receiving terrorist emissaries and giving them the opportunity to disseminate their ideas, as it happened recently with a statement of terrorist Basayev on the international wanted list on the British TV, is an authentic example of encouraging terrorist activities. Only by consolidating our efforts on the basis of common strategy and uniform standards will we be able to gain a decisive victory over terrorism," the Russian president's special envoy concluded.

#7  As for any bonafide, dedicated assassin or medieval ninja, the Commies "ASSASSIN'S MACE" strategem works best when the target [America] does not suspect, or in the alt is placed in a sitch where he cannot escape complete or undeniable destruction. As good dialecticists and alternatists, the PC anti-US Lefts as a class is likely using both modes, etal., known and unknown,legal and illegal, possible and impossible, ags America - ONCE THE TARGET IS DOWN OR DESTROYED, IT IS MEANT TO STAY DOWN, TO BE DEAD OR FOREVER DOMINATED, IDEALLY NEVER TO RISE OR THREATEN OR COMPETE AGAIN!

#6  Putin indir means the USA - among other reasons, the failed and failing INternational Lefts need numbers to effectively counter still-growing US hyperpower and espec its Battlespace/MilTech Dominance, i.e. the USA runs of Bullets before its enemies run out of cannon-fodder Bodies. Its no accident that Russia-China are holding combined MILEXS at a time when Iran and NOrth Korea are all but daring the USA to invade them ala "NEW VIETNAMS", where both Iran and NK, etc. are basing their primary national defense strategies on bogging down US/Allied milfors in ARMY-BASED/LED,PC, NUCLEARIZED PROTRACTED
"PEOPLE'S WAR", where anti-American professional armies and counterops = Media-correct "armed civilians only"! Rest assured that Russia-China have no problem bombing America as they would also their own Radical Islam mercenaries-proxies!

#5  Terrorists must be completely isolated by the global community, believes the Russian President's special envoy on issues of international cooperation in the fight against terrorism and transnational crime, Anatoly Safonov...

Why? If there is no such thing as good and evil (meaning that is just a quaint American notion), then why would you need to isolate them? Oh, so you DO think there are such things as good and evil, but only you sophisticates in the Euro-centric international community can identify them and pronounce how to fight them? Bite me. What you have named here--"The global community must completely isolate terrorists, blocking their access to financing and human resources and preventing their use of media to disseminate radical ideas,"--is exactly what the US has been pushing for for months, YEARS since 9/11, while its "allies" have let it swing in the wind. The folks overseas are truly becoming ridiculous.

Just change 'terrorist emissaries' to 'Imams' and 'British TV' to 'American mosques' and you have it made!

Makes me want to sob. Sigh! Double standards eh?
Why not discuss the double standard applied to terrorism against Israelis?

How does Mr. Safonov square trading with Syria and Iran?
