#1 Yet Russia continues to serve as Iran's nuclear midwife. Putin is no better than the Beslan murderers. Assisting Kim Jong-Il in circumventing attempts to blockade transshipment of weapons and nuclear technology makes him just another scumbag terrorist facilitator.

The recent Rantburg article that outlined the historical Soviet propagation of Middle East terrorism makes it clear that Putin is only continuing an enduring program of anti-Western activities that differ not one whit from that of the Cold War communists.

#2 The Beslan Massacre is one of those events that actually make me question if I'm on the same plane of reality as some other humans.

Like the Rape of Nanking, this atrocity should have woken the West to Islamo-fascism if 9/11 hadn't already...What idealogy so nakedly sacrifices such innocent children?

RIP little ones.

#3 I can't find the words - and I'm unsatisfied with what follows... I disagree with this Kozak character - this is far beyond tragic. JDB's characterization of atrocity, a horror beyond the pale, is infinitely more accurate.

"Tragic" is the penchant for the blame game by the Russian people. Of course their government fucked it up - it has never had any competence dealing with terrorism other than responding in kind to the terrorists - and any civilians who happen to be lucklessly involved.

The mercenary aspects of the Russians' response is revolting and repugnant - same as those who are suing the airlines, et al, for 9/11. The "there must be someone at hand I can blame" and "there must be compensation", as if that is actually possible, almost crushes my belief in my fellow man as redeemable and worthy. It sickens me.

Incompetence leading to unintended death is tragic and stupid. Murder is murder.

Putin is a KGB agent who happened to find himself a convenient and marketable frontman for his kind and has never risen above that level of scumbag. He's our enemy, no different than any Soviet leader, and the Russians are fools, their greatest chance for freedom squandered and lost.

#4 2nd Flyover. My wife is Ukrainian. She has said from the beginning that Putin is a very bad man. She believes that he and is cronies are keeping Chechnya going because there is money to be made and and ignorant Russian public to be manipulated. She asked me if I really thought that a Col. in the KGB, and onetime head of the Leningrad Military District wouldn't know how to deal with the Chechens?

#5 Beslan is the worst thing I've ever heard about, this is the incident that removed any sympathy or understanding I have for any worshipper of the murderous pedophile false prophet. At least Basayev is enjoying eternal torment.

#6 September 1st is my birthday, and I hate to see it come around because of thoughts of Belsan. My wife and I are taking care of an 18-month-old child and his 19-year-old mother while she tries to earn enough to get an apartment. We'll continue to baby-sit him after she moves out. I would absolutely go nuttier than a march hare if anything happened to him. If muslim-caused, there wouldn't be a muslim alive within 100 miles of here by the time the authorities managed to catch me. I'm surprised more Russian parents haven't gone that route. There are NO "innocent" muslims - they are either involved or complicit, by direct association with their "faith".

#7 any Russian aid to Islamists and Iran nneds to be referred back to Beslan. Whay are you arming those who killed your children. Broad brush, but it works, if implemented among the Russian people. especially starting in Beslan

#9 Agreed JerseyMike,

This also tore the veil from my eyes as to where, exactly the MSM (including ABC / CBS / NBC / BBC / CNN / etc...) stand in the WOT - knowingly and willingly with the islamic terrorist.

I will never view a MSM newscast (or newspaper) the same again.

(Oh, and happy and belated birthday Old Partiot).
