I am with you. Having spent time in southern Russia near the chechen border back in 1997, I came home trying to say the same things to Americans. No one listened.
I confess it has been somewhat validating to see at least the freepers here tuned in now.
That said I think the Russians are doing a better job and are way ahead of us in understanding the game. Many prayers needed for this country and the incredible ignorance of so many here.

You might put it that way.

I would say they listened and laughed. A search of the internet will reaveal many articles in which the US Governemnt is on record as dismissing attacks against Russians; questioning the source of terrorism; Many well-known and beloved Senators, Representatives and businessmen consider the Chechens to be fellow freedom-fighters; Americans in the making---along with Albanian and Bosnian muslims.
