The unyielding anger Pres Bush spoke of after 9/11 is the same anger Putin and countrymen - heck, all of us - feel now. Too, Pres Bush said those who harbor terrorists would also feel our wrath. How is Putin any different?
I'm a simple guy, don't know much about the ways of the wide world outside my bunker. Can anyone tell me why the Russian Army engineers don't just break out all of their bulldozers/earthmovers and dig a 20' moat all around the "breakaway republic of chechnya", ring it with razor wires and install one gate? Give the good citizens of Chechnya (read Christians and Jews) ten days to get out. At the end of the ten days, slam that gate shut and give Spetznaz responsibility for containing them. Nobody in, nobody out. You're on your own, you filthy savages.
Putin isn't any different but I hope he follows Bush doctrine and doesn't try to do this as a clandestine operation a la KGB. It's time for the big powers of the world to do things in a deliberate way for all the world to see. That way the Islamofacists will see their days of hiding behind moderate Muslims are numbered. It will also give some backbone to moderate Muslims to start defending themselves against the Islamofacists.
