You might not like their means [I certainly don't], but they are fighting for a cause they believe in, not just wanton evil.

If you read around the whole Chechnya situation, the Ruskies keep doing things like rigging elections and installing pro-Moscow leaders in Grozny. The same dodgy dealings as the US have been accused of in places like S America.

Saw that on the news before, can't even think of a word to describe this shocking event. I just hope everyone walks out alive.

Indeed the Russian government has behaved like morons, but a counter action like this is simply rediculous; if the russians hasn't hated the Cheznyans before, imagine what 200 dead school children would result in.

I see the scenario from "The sum of all fears" getting closer and closer.

The Chechen terrorists are religious fanatics, but the Russian government has to take some of the blame at the escalating scale of this violence. Their aggression towards terrorism - that makes even Bush's look tame by comparison - has squeezed any justice out of their treatment and turned a bunch of nationalist 'freedom fighters' into monsters who will blow themselves up or commit the worst atrocities. Bush, Sharon, Putin - none of them are worth a badger's arse against terrorism. Hardline approaches NEVER work, except to make things worse.

That said, I don't think the political element means much to the families and children involved right now. I hope very much it's resolved peacefully, or that Russian special forces pull off an amazing rescue, but neither history or probability is on their side. :-( Remember the theatre massacre when they tried using gas?

I'm gonna have to second Wain's statement on this one.

The Russians, especially under Dobby the house elf, have made a recoverable situation so bad I suspect even if they now left the Chechnians alone, the hate would still be there for generations.

I can't see this going any other way tbh.

Actually one of the funniest things I've read all week,

That said, there would probably be a cheer if NONE of parliment got out alive, at least from many brits.

Would save us (As a nation) the cost of a much needed dead wood culling excorsise.

BTW, of all the AORG parodies Ive seen over the years, yours Fade has to be up there in the top ten, if only for the sheer amount of folks you've gotten in that one post :-D

Friday: The United States of America invades the Netherlands to liberate their freedomsoldiers (one of them called Lynndie England) out of the clutches of the UN Tribunal in the Hague. The coming year they find with this action en passant WMD's, and, not remembering the fact that these are actually their warheads, they decide to occupy the Netherlands, and they say to the world it's officially liberated. They pull an American flag over the head of the statue of Erasmus of Rotterdam before pulling the statue down. Her Majesty Beatrix Queen of the Netherlands has been arrested, after months of hiding for the US troops (after not having shaved for such a long while, her beard is so long, it reaches her toes). She has been found living in a room behind a moving cabinet on the adress Prinsegracht 263 in Amsterdam. She has left a diary behind for future generations.
She faced trial in the US, charged for brutal dictatorship, and has been deported to Guantanamo Bay.
An "interim" government has been installed, and decent anti-homo and anti-softdrugs law became in charge.
And everyone lived long and happily ever after..

Can we please keep this thread on-topic?
There are more than enough threads for everyone to bash the US in, no need for another one. You could bash Russia or Cheznya all that you like, though!
