After Moscow attack, Russians question Putin's war on terror
2011-01-25
A few are even voicing the previously unthinkable suggestion that Prime Minister Vladimir Putin should resign, since he is the leader most closely associated with setting policy during the decade-long cycle of terrorism and brutal security countermeasures in the seething north Caucasus.

"It seems that we live from one terrorist assault to another," Igor Korotchenko, a former high-ranking security officer, told the independent Ekho Moskvi radio station Tuesday.

"When it happens, we see authorities react. They give instructions and order intensive antiterrorist operations, but it all comes to naught until we are shaken by the next explosive terrorist act," he said.
Start burying the remains of terrorists in a pig.
Igor is panicking unnecessarily. No plan to reduce terrorism is foolproof or 100% guaranteed. There will be days when terrorists are successful, and innocents are going to die on those days. It's all about reducing the odds. None of us would want to live in Vlad's Russia or be subject to Vlad's whims, but this attack isn't his fault -- it's squarely on the fault of the evil people who perpetrated it.
