Nuke 'em!

[AdvisorB]

Just another terrific human interest story. Keep em coming!

[Republic of Texas]

You know, wasn't too long ago that I was sympathetic to the Chechens. Never again will I be sympathetic to anything Muslim. I don't know what the terrorists were trying to accomplish, but with me, they have made an enemy for life. I hope, and suspect, I'm not the only one.

[Dengar01]

Anyone else notice how strange it is that the US, China and Russia all have common enemies, not eachother but Muslim extremists. The Russians have to deal with the Chechens. The Chinese have to deal with there own Muslim problem in China with terrorirst groups, and ofcourse we have our problem here. Just odd that the 3 biggest superpowers all have to deal with the same snakes. Well its better than fighting eachother, I don't feel like fighting a nuclear war with Russia and China, I'll stick with fighting the Muslim terrorists. Also shows how peaceful Islam is (sarcasm) and that Israel is not the focus of the Muslims it is pushing their religion on everyone else.

Prior to Sept. 11, I would have sided with the Chechan's. I used to get upset when Israeli soldiers would blast away a Palestinian rock thrower.

Prior to Sept 11. Now I am rooting for the Russian Bear.

[dennisw]

I'm also backing the Russian bear. Paw those Chechnyans real good! Chechnya is on the map for the world wide Muslim Jihad. Bin Laden's network operates there.

[mikhailovich]

Bush: "This is not a war against Muslims" YET !!!!!

[looois]

They've been my enemy since 1453.

[Pericles]

I am proud to say I NEVER SYMPATHIZED OR SIDED WITH THE CHECHENS!!

[undergroundwarrior]

I even changed my views on Vlad Dracul.

[Republic of Texas]

I should have known by the sympathetic reporting of the Chechens that something was wrong there. I just never gave it much thought. Until now.

[Tasha]

You better change it again. Count Dracula was known as the innovator of the scorched earth policy. The people who were impaled and killed were not only Turks, but also his homeboys. There are even letters from guards where Dracula was imprisoned, who wrote of his constant demands for animals like chickens, which he tortured, and then impaled.
Count Dracula was nothing more than a psycopath, like Ted Bundy.
Sorry to burst that bubble, but Muslims were not the highest on Dracula's menu. It appears that his countrymen were.

[Naspino]

I've never felt closer to the Russians...

[Tasha]

It is much easier to understand someone, when you take a walk in their shoes. It appears that America is doing just that.

[samtheman]

You forgot to mention India. Maybe not a superpower, but a huge country with a big Muslim problem.

USA, Russia, China, India... there's a lot we don't have in common, but there is one big reason to form a Grand Alliance Against Islam.

[Egg]

I don't feel like fighting a nuclear war with Russia and China, I'll stick with fighting the Muslim terrorists.

  At least the Russians respected our nuclear arsenal and we theirs. Can you imagine dealing with a nuclear-capable band of muslim thugs?: "Go ahead, nuke us in return! We will have multiple virgins in heaven!"

That missile defense shield is sounding better and better...

[madrussian]

20 down. couple million more to go.

Not in Chechnya.
