Victims Remember Moscow Theater Seizure
Lest we forget. The Nord-Ost Theater incident was only one pearl in Basayev's necklace of barbarism, but it was particularly lustrous from the Islamist point of view. It put the Russian government in the position of having to take action of some sort, when any action it took -- to include none at all -- would result in large numbers of civilian casualties. I'm hoping that Shamil's 72 virgins are busy poking him in the nether regions with white hot pitchforks even as we speak blog, and that they continue doing so until well after Doomsday.

#1 It remains a total mystery how Russia can be so purblind about their continued support of Iran and other terrorist sponsors despite the Nord-Ost and Beslan atrocities. Well ... at least until you remember the less mysterious Russian tradition of walking over their own grandmothers for a few rubles.

#2 Putin has done the cold calculation of how many Russians lost vs. how many adversaries lost at the hands of Islamic Iran. He is putting his own energy headlock on Western Europe and letting Iran drive up the cost of energy for the U.S. and feed U.S. troops into an IED meat grinder. When all is said and done, he can wipe Iran off the map in a half hour with ICBMs if he has to.

#6 How can USA be so blind as to support Soodia, Zenster?

It's the oil. Unfortunately, this world's economy is wholly dependent upon it. Too bad that America's political leadership refuses to understand that tyrannies have no sovereign rights. If they knew this, appropriating Saudi oil reserves in compensation for damages arising from the 9-11 atrocity would be a snap decision.

Yes, this war is about the oil. Terrorism is fueled by petro-dollars and that needs to change. Most ironic of all is that the money we have spent in Afghanistan and Iraq could have funded all the R&D plus a portion of converting over to some other fuel or transportation technology in the USA. It is almost as if being forced to battle Islamic terrorism is specifically designed to distract us from overcoming our dependence upon imported oil.
