I wish that were so. Even after a Beslan-type attack here we'd hear more about "terrorists hijacking a peaceful religion."

Exactly, the Russians have the capability to nuke Mecca, or at least Grozny. If they didn't do it after such a provocation, and Russians are very emotional about their kids, we sure as heck wouldn't do it either... although you never know, you can push a Cowboy only so far and then ...

The 40-day mourning period for the Beslan victims is almost over. I think it's up on the tenth of October.
