#1 PRAVDA is also quoting and expanding on London Mayor Livingstone's comment about how the West [read - USA] is responsible for dev and funding Islamist terror, and for ignoring terrorists as long as they were "killing Russians". IOW, the West = USA is the only one responsible for any and all anti-Russian terror attacks, ergo Russia cannot be held responsible or blamed for any pre-emptive mil actions, espec if it results in US-Russ mil conflict!?

#2 No, Pravda is "truth."

"Unhappy" is something else.

Seriously, if you read Pravda for any length of time you start getting the impression they're never happy unless they're expressing schaudenfreude.

Maybe prozac would help?

#3 Oops. Sorry Joseph; I didn't see your post. I was trying to joke about Steve's comment.

There's a serious timing issue in blaming Al Qaeda on the West, more or less based around why it took so long for the Taliban to take over Afghanistan after the war if they were identical with or a substantial subset of the anti-Soviet resistance. The worst thing about the partisan bull that Livingstone was sprouting is that it helps let the ISI off the hook for their actions in installing the Taliban.
