#1 This report sounds painfully like something out of Iraq. This war seems to go on forever with no end in sight. The Russians seem to be able to sustain the endless stream of casualties because apparently they don't face political pressure at home. Yet they haven't found a way to end the violence. The west is going to have to find a way to win these wars (Chechnya and Iraq) decisively, or the jihadis will just keep coming.

#2 What goes around comes around. Stalin created the current "peace" movement as a means to hogtie and slander the United States to allow him to spread communism everywhere. It was kept intact by his successors, so even though the old Soviet Union dissolved,gone, but the people who followed old Joe's recipie and agenda found that it could be tweaked to serve THEIR purposes.

Thus, thanks to the infrastructure laid down decades ago, nobody save americans seems to REALLY believe that the United States would hand over power to the Iraquis. Even if some do, its to their advantage to ACT as if they don't believe it. Hotheads like Tater feed on that rhetoric, reprocess it, spew it out, and act on it. He would have been better off waiting until July 4 to start his little uprising...
