Lets talk about military force engaging for control and rescue hostages, of a highly defended urban arena without huge casualties.

Nicely done. A complete success in my opinion. The Russians must have some of the best Hostage Rescue Teams in the world, because that wasn't a simple raid, and the complexity of the situation was extraordinary to accomplish with even marginal success.

I hope they are always our allies.

"I hope they are always our allies."

Me too my friend. I hope GWB continues working with the Russians as we confront the real threats to our freedoms and civilization itself. These Religous finatics are a major threat to peace around the globe and until we face this fact we will continue to see events like 9/11, Bali and situations like Moscow has been through in the last few days.

Russia is also in desperate need of our help with their economy and between our products and their Oil, the future is bright :-)
