#1 good for the Russians. But I'm not sure that simply denying their demands will have the long-term impact of reducing these horrific crimes.

These terrorists don't really have a particular goal in mind other than to express their rage.

Oh, sure, they say it's for Jihad...but these AQ jihadi's are really just glorified serial killers; they are more interested in the headlines and the fact that they can make the greatest powers in the world feel helpless next to their actions.

Just like serial killers, they will just keep ratcheting up the horror level until they are stopped. There are no demands that can be met that would ever stop their quest for blood.

I don't have answers...just musing out loud.
