If President Bush could find a day to stop in Russia to join funeral or commemoration of victims, his election in 2004 would be secured.
I agree with you. I don't know if he can get to Russia, but he needs to do something outspoken, both for human reasons, as well as for political and diplomatic ones. In a way, this is their 9/11 (although clearly its not their first one).
Since our Afghan war, I find myself much in sympathy with these people. They were the first to step forward to help, and our western euro allies all turned out to be "ex" allies (except the Brits, of course).
