"Maybe Putin forgets how he deals w/Chechnya, Beslen and the Moscow Theater."
Nope they didn't forget, they killed their Chechen version of Bin Laden recently, Baslayef or whatever his name was. That is what Israel is also trying to do, kill the head of Hezbollah and destroy the ability to attack. Same as Russia but of course Russia must keep it's patron Iran happy at the end of the day. Russia is gleeful at the ME turmoil and is likely hoping it will continue. This keeps oil prices high and translates into billions for them.
exactly.
