Our Media is as bad as it gets. Exposure of this abomination will make Bush's victory certain and overwhelming. It will not be covered as long as there is ANY miserable excuse not to publicize it: storms, murders, rapes, someone lost their keys, anything.

President Bush should fly to Russia for a brief solidarity visit. If he does it media will not be able to hide it from the public and Bush will win elections by the landslide.

Bush is not welcome in Russia right now.

They utterly despise him, and he is despised even more after the outrage in Beslan.

I know this because I was talking to a Russian lady just last night who said she had been talking to her relatives in Russia for much of the day.

They hate Bush today more than they ever have.

The Russians perceive that the Americans have always sided with the Chechen Terrorists and have given credence to their claims.

Putin will probably not even speak to Bush, right now.

MSNBC just aired a devasting report from ITN about this whole incident - the funerals, the identification of bodies, etc.

We don't often agree on foreign policy but, when you are right, you are right. Bush should, as you say, go to Russia and meet with Putin to show American solidarity with Putin over these outrages.

Good post!
