"Fathers will bury their children, and after 40 days (the Orthodox mourning period) ... they will take up weapons and seek revenge," said Alan Kargiyev, a 20-year-old university student in Vladikavkaz.

I think history will look back on this tragedy as a pivotal event in the war on terror. Putin will now be firmly behind Bush, and the Russians will be absolutely ruthless when it comes to dealing with the jihadists.

I hope that he will behind Bush, but from his statement it was caused by the fall of the Soviet Union, I'm more afraid that he will turn back fully to communism. He already rules somewhat with an iron fist and loose freedoms for the people. This might push him over the edge in the wrong direction.

There are those on this forum that are going to find it amazing that an Orthodox Christian area was attacked by Muslim terrorists, and nobody seems to notice this is a religious war of hatred.

Unless we wake up, we will die.

I think they have always have been that way. However, they have always looked at it as an internal problem without connection to the worldwide Islamic terror. This incident may change their view on that issue.
