The Russians have had a much better history with dealing with fundamentalists, having been going after them since 1918. The US has only recently flipped into opposing Islam, and has its own fundy problems at home.

Or is it people only care when terrorism happens to the U.S.?

This is a major terrorist attack here! From the media, you'd think it's something routine.


Good point

It's like not even the main headline, or ANY of the main headlines.

Well certainly it should have received more attention than it did, but it certainly was the headline on CNN's website for at least part of one day and has been one of the headlines on the CNN front page for almost a week now. I also saw it mentioned a couple days ago on nbc evening news (the only day i've watched the news on tv recently). People shouldn't get the impression that this is being ignored to the extant that some earlier terrorist attacks against russians were ignored.

I ask again. When have we given much air play to the Russian war in Chechnya? This wasn't going to change things that much. Which is to Russia's benefit.

so now we move onto the important question.

What will Russia's response be? True this isn't as severe as 9/11. But I would expect a harsh response if they find out who is responsible. Would they go ape **** like the U.S. did and bomb everyone? .

The funny thing is their response will be unilateral. They can get away with it, but the U.S. can't. hmmm

Since the Russians consider the problem to be an internal matter why would they go to the UN? They aren't going to ask France or Germany or anyone to saction what they will do. They will go in there and bomb whatever they want and I don't think the French or America for that matter will say anything more than a " be careful and don't kill too many people" In many ways their problem is far simpler than what faces the United States.

The *****es who did it are dead already. They killed themselves with explosion. But sooner or later will find who planned this and kill them too or throw them to prison for the rest of thier shitty lives. There will be no other reaction. That's what they did with ****s who blew up apartment houses in Moscow- throw them to prison forever (unfortunately there is no death penalty in Russia).

Why should we bomb anything inside Russia? How the hell it will help us to fight terrorism?

Prison is too good for them. Perhaps they can be shot while trying to "escape"?

Feel free to go after any foreign supporters.

I knew that was coming. It wasn't 100% flawed. Only 1 of the 50 states had an issue so it was only 2% flawed at best.

We had a few unfortunates who were too dumb to read the ballot or punch a decent hole. Hopefully they learned by now. My home still uses the even older lever system and we don't have any problems.

Not to mention that Rambo III should be forbidden in USA as propoganda of terrorism, since there Jhon fought on the same side as Osama.

Armeggedon was a great example of really bad science.
Rambo III was way better. There is no comparison. I hear a new Rambo movie is in the works and it will also be in Afghanistan (presumably fighting terrorists this time).

Just face it - your election system completely sucks.

He used the help of your advisers and since your system is completely sucks, they helped him to completely screw-up our elections.
