They go on to wonder what adult life will be like and state bluntly: "There's only one solution - stop fighting."

Now the little Muslims get it!

The New York Times, The Washington Post and Times, most major newspapers on the right and left have been for a decade great supporters of the Chechen jihad. The neocons and the neo-liberals are both sides of the same coin. They both want the same world agenda but for different reasons. The neo-cons back breakaway states; especially Islamic ones and especially Islamic ones along major oil export routes. The neo-liberals also back breakaway states; but because they hate the concept of Western inspired nationalism. Neo-liberals want to end national sovereignty, a Western civilization concept.

Both these groups have entrenched advocacy groups that wine and dine opinion and policy makers. A pro-Chechen independent lobby exists in Washington whose members are the whose who of American political life (the funding for this lobby is a secret-my guess? The Saudis). Remember Sen. McCain wanted to start WW3 to help the Chechens over the Russians, forcing Bush to talk tough about Russia in regards to Chechnya too (Bush had to to take the issue away because the media was using McCain's stance on Chechnya to prove McCain would be a better, tougher president-thats why that reporter ambushed Bush on Pakistan and Chechnya knowledge back when-remember?).

I feel we have an insidious 5th column in the United States made of Americans who have masters other than the constitution.

I agree.

Every stereotype of arrogant, uncaring, apathetic Americans was and is being reinforced by the BS that the networks and the press have been putting out.

This was the only place that broke the mold.

When one considers how bad things COULD have been with this hostage situation, you realize there are some heros over there that are being ignored. While there are many things to be annoyed with about this article, I'm bothered most that your average Russian who reads the US press may come to believe that the average American not only feels no sympathy for their loss, but blames them for it. To any Russians who may visit FR, please know that many of us average Americans are rather disgusted by the American press too. Having recently lost many of our citizens to terrorists, we know some of your pain as well. We have a common enemy.

October lessons
Izvestiya believes there are lessons to be learnt. It calls for stronger democracy, a public or parliamentary inquiry and an end to the assumption that the public is not sufficiently mature to be kept properly informed.
If the state cannot trust its "unarmed public, it will be left face to face with the terrorists while all those who do not bear arms - i.e. the vast majority - will be the hostages".

[F.J. Mitchell]

The Russian Media must accept the reality that while they(The Russian Media) has been liberated by that countries move away from Communism, our western media still is in love with communism and resents the fact that Russia escaped from it's grip, rather than the West becoming communists. The Western Press has nothing good to say about anyone or any country that is working toward freedom for all. Our media in fact, has replaced communism with Islam, which it admires for working so hard and ruthlessly to enslave the whole world.

We the majority of westerners, are elated at Russias new found freedom and the blessings there of. We also congradulate those who made the decision as how to end the hostage situation, those who carried it out and the success of the mission. Only complete d*mn fools around the world (or those who support the terrorists) will carp upon the the number of casualties of the rescue operation, , while ignoring what the casualty count would have been if the Terrorists had been allowed to remain in control, killing hostages as it pleased them, or detonating the explosives they had planted.

Last I lookedOsama used to be our terrorist before he went rogue. Last I read the Iraqi nuclear power plant can't be diverted to make nuclear weapons. At least the Iraqis are both paying for the plant and allowing UN inspectors as per international treaty. Unlike what what happened in North Korea.

[Destro]

sorry-insert Iran for Iraq.

Russian press berates Western media

Haven't they heard of media-PC yet? Why, our press had precious little sympathy for the Aussies in Bali!

[swarthyguy]

>>Unlike what what happened in North Korea.

Brought to you by our "friends" the Pakistanis. And the Chinese....and now Saudi will get the fruits of pakistani armaments, missiles and wmd.

May the Russians now start to annhilate the jihadis. Anywhere.

Americans were impressed with the difficult and sensitive choice made by Putin. The newspapers listed don't like conservatives either. Putin's in good company, he's with us.

It says the Washington Post and the New York Times were at pains to play down any comparison with September 11.

"We wept sincerely with America" on September 11 but US journalists "did nothing but say that what had happened was a blow to Putin, one that he deserved".

I know why, but it's too bad the graves' location will be secret. Freedom loving people can't go and relieve themselves on planted terrorists if they don't know where...

[swarthyguy]

Hope they detach the heads before burying and let jihadis know what they've done. HOg carcasses next to them would be ok too, as long as they take pictures and plaster them all over the place.

Let's see US Media vs. the Rooskies and you choose the media? Guess you have no idea who the real enemy is. Too bad.

[MinorityRepublican]

Just how many people live in Chechnya, and how many Chechnyans have been killed in this war for terror?

Because it seems like Russia is not hurting them enough.
