This hardly condones or justifies the events of the past week it comes close to explaining how they came to happen. Maybe you also won't blindly accept whatever political jibba jabba comes out of Washington that tries to equate their situation with ours. As some sort of bullshit political expediancy to justify their "war on terror".

"Al-Qaida explicitly targets Westerners; the Chechens, on the other hand, explicitly exclude Westerners from their list of targets; they target Russians and Russia-sympathizers" (http://slate.msn.com/id/2106287/)

The fact that the recent victims were largely Christian might have something to do with it too but you don't hear about that part much in the news. Of course religious hate is only relevent when it's coming from Christians, right Ice? :rolleyes

Did you know that over 90% of the confederates killed by the union were christian. How come that fact is never mentioned? Now only were they chrisitan, they were white. Religious -race war!

I must have missed the whole religious-extremism part about the Civil War when they taught that in school.

Yep. The conspiracy theories about Russia killing it's own people makes the whole "shooting fleeing children in the back" thing so much more understandable. Thanks Ice!!! :shootme
