Videos made by al-Qaeda in Bosnia, Chechnya and other places all show decapitations. It is the hallmark of Islamists.

Congrats to the Russian authorities, they did what they had to do to deal with these thugs. Now the Russian nation has declared a national day of mourning. Sheesh, when is the world going to realize that our fight against Islamic terrorists is their fight, also.

Allah akkk barf. (Islamic death cult's blasphemy is puke.)

"hostage-takers"
Here we go again with that atupid euphemism. They are Islamonazi terrorists. Whay is that so hard for the lamestream press to admit.

The young woman described as being killed with four shots must be the one whose fingers were broken by these charmers.

I have always considered myself a nonviolent person, but I found it very comforting to see the photos of the dead terroirsts. Kill them all! They cannot be reasoned with.

The rest of the world does realize the importance of the fight against Islamic terrorists.

Russia fought the mujahideen in Afghanistan in the '80s, they are fighting the Chechnyans now, they have assisted the Central Asian states in fighting terrorists in those countries. Unfortunately, the United States was aiding those forces for the last two decades.

The Chinese are fighting the Uighurs in Sinkiang. Various "Uighur independence" "freedom fighters" were aided by the US until recently (possibly still being aided).

The Indians have been fighting the Pakistanis since '49. Have they been assisted by the US?

The French have been fighting Algerian terrorists since the '50s. They have been aiding the government of Algeria in its fight against the Armed Islamic Group (GIA). Have you heard of the US assisting the French or the Algerians in their fight against these Islamic terrorists?

What the rest of the world doesn't beleive is that Iraq is the cause of all this terrorism. Iraq is more or less a secular socialist/fascist dictatorship. Islamic fundamentalism plays almost no role in Iraqi politics. Pan-Arabism is a basis for Baathist ideology, but largely as a motivation for modernization of Arab society along European socialist principles.

The rest of the world, seems to believe that Iraq is being attacked by the US for two reasons: -- a) at the behest of Israel, to which Iraq is indeed a threat, and b)in order to seize control of the Iraqi oil fields.

Meanwhile the chief purveyors and supporters of Islamic fundmentalism and Islamic terrorism, the Wahhabis of Saudi Arabia and Yemen and the Deobandists of Pakistan, are given a pass by the United States.

The US is conducting a "Phony War" on Islamic terrorism, while using it as a pretext for an actual War on a repulsive, but secular, Iraq. No wonder the rest of the world is confused.

Amen!

"Congrats to the Russian authorities, they did what they had to do to deal with these thugs. Now the Russian nation has declared a national day of mourning. Sheesh, when is the world going to realize that our fight against Islamic terrorists is their fight, also."

Very well put and right on point.

[briant]

The commandos also threatened to decapitate some of the hostages if Russian authorities did not meet their demands.

I wonder if they will think up any moe euphemisms.

Iraq invaded Kuwati because his wells are going dry. If we wanted to smack some islamic jerkwads for oil I think Saudi Arabia would be a much better target. Why steal an empty gas can when you could steal a full one.

Your premise is empty. Iraq is getting smacked for training terrorists, and for making Anthrax that was released inside Americas borders. America is showing an incredible ammount of restraint IMHO. If I was king, Babylon would be glowing in the dark right now. Good thing I am not king huh?

Whay is that so hard for the lamestream press to admit. Because this is what our firends and neighbors want to hear.

[fight_truth_decay]

The rhetoric becomes subliminal fed to the "hand wringers" through the most read newspaper in American..The NYTimes and other Democratic inspired and influenced "truth in reporting" talking heads.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Ok now, what have all the "moderate" Muslims to say about this hostage situation?

Were they for it or against it? Silence implies consent.

[TopQuark]

The NYTimes and other Democratic inspired and influenced "truth in reporting" talking heads. Where do these come from if not from the same people, our friends and neighbors?

And, if our friends and neighbors really cared, either the NYTimes would change or another paper of the same status would emerge.

People like to hear what they do, and they like to read what the papers publish.

[TexasRepublic]

Were they for it or against it? Silence implies consent.

That is because all Moslems, even if not active terrorists, are silent supporters of the terrorist infrastructure. Don't you think at least some of their religious contributions end up with shady, undesirable organizations? Trust none of them.

Wellllllllll.........actually..........if you need references for that job, you've come to the right place!

The Chinese are fighting the Uighurs in Sinkiang. Various "Uighur independence" "freedom fighters" were aided by the US until recently (possibly still being aided).

Aided? In what respect? I think you may have unwillingly bought into some propaganda. We haven't even given moral support to them (the Uighurs) in the past, and have in fact shared intelligence to help the Chinese control them since 9/11.

We've been absolutely duped as far as that situation goes. Eastern Turkistan is as much an independent nation as Tibet.

Many people are forgetting, since 9/11, that the stabiliity that would come from Chinese domination of Asia would not be preferable to the potential instability that would result from giving sovereignty back to those who deserve to be free from their present overlords.
