#6 Mo's mouthpieces. Is that their editorial board lined up across the top? They'd all look better with bullet holes in their foreheads.

#7 If Russians are angry with Putin, it is only because he has shown such restraint while fighting Chechans.

But being Russians, they would likely say that "the little father has been deceived by his subordinates, and that if he only knew, then he would righteously smite the Muslims."

#8 The Russians might be right.

Read books from the murdered Livitchenko(Sp?)who was ex FSB and he said the FSB caused explosions in Moscow to get the public behing the Chechen wars!

#9 I'm not a fan of Putin, but I suspect the attacks would have happened no matter who had been leading Russia the past decade. The Chechyans have a beef and they have seen examples of terrorism working (spain in particular). Even when it doesn't work it is not uncommon for the terrorists to become wealthy and/or rockstar-like heroes of their people which sounds a lot better than sucking it up and plodding to work day after day to make ends meet.

So what to do about it? Well Russia could start by stopping their support (overt and tacit) of terrorists regimes. They could join with the west and put an end to this crap. If Russia came on board I suspect Obama and Europe would be their poodle which would put Russia in the superpower position again.
