We have a naive society here in the U.S. — naive beyond belief — we (as a nation) argue over water boarding... while the fantical Jihadist world laughs at us.
Our fellow citizens think the world is a snowy Christmas and a snuggly Easter Bunny - all sweet and nice... and that is all there is... we just continue to go to Starbucks and tolerate our liberal neighbors in their quest for diversity ...
No one wants to resort to what the Russians did - but we do not want to be annihilated by radical Islahmist either... nor do we wish to be absorbed by migratory invasions ...
God Help Us.
Possibly, our all-wise elders would conclude that the Chechen-Russian barbarities are ONLY mutually inspired (after all, Chechens aren’t plotting against US targets) and that if we Kumbaya to the Islamic world it will be mollified. I think the Islamic world would be happy to infiltrate the USA on the sneak, if it believed that would get them to a world conquest faster than prematurely angering the locals.
