Moment of silence for Russian victims

Posted on 08/27/2004 12:08:34 PM PDT by msp2004

This is just a question - I am wondering if we should have a moment of silence or something to pay respects to the Russian victims of this latest terrorist attack. At least before the world decided to hate the US they mourned with us over 9/11. I really feel like this incident in Russia is being downplayed. Don't blast me.. just a thought...

I agree; a moment of silence is appropriate.

I agree, we should show solidarity with the victims. Maybe those who can afford it could have a few flowers sent to the RF embassy in sympathy?

There have been numerous blasts in apartment buildings, bus stops and subway stations over the years, and none of them got much airtime here. If any of those events had happened here, we'd be all over it. And when we were shocked at the kidnappings and beheadings recently, these actions were practically invented by the Chechens and we never noticed.

When a Russian official was talking about this he stated flatly that it was a MUSLIM woman

Too bad for CAIR that official is beyond its legal reach.

>>>the most insane, demented ideology the world has ever seen.

I think it's important to note that we supported and armed this ideology when it was fighting to get the Soviets out of Afghanistan in the 1980's.
Interesting how things change over time as a new group of Islamists try to boot the Russians out of their "country" of Chechnya.
Afghan Islamists killing Russians = good
Chechen Islamists killing Russians = bad
