MOSCOW, Oct 1, 2001 -- (BBC Monitoring) Text of report in English by Russian news agency Interfax.
Russian Communist Party Leader Gennadiy Zyuganov sharply criticized U.S. plans for retaliatory strikes in Afghanistan.
"If they go ahead with the plan, a large war may break out. None of the goals of fighting terrorism will be achieved. The strike will lead only to more sorrow," he told a news conference in Moscow today.
Russia must act very cautiously, Zyuganov said. "They (the Americans) will flee from there in a week or two while we, if we get dragged into it, will stay on the Jalalabad-Kandahar line," he said.
The Russian army cannot do much now, Zyuganov said.
U.S. activities are moving the planet 500 years back, "to the times of brigandage and banditry", he said.

I'm not sure to what U.S. activities he is referring; but he is correct that the outcome of the pursuit of globalization will not be order, but anarchy.
I have also read that any attempt to remove the Taliban will result in a power vacuum in that part of the world. With Russia, China and Iran, among others vying for influence. This seems to me an accurate analysis.
This moaning and crying shows the connections with the mass murdering terrorists of 9/11 with the mass murderers of about 80 million in the last century!
This scumbag could care less about peace or civilization, he doesn't want his buddies, the super rich arab terrorist to have a bad day. They probably fund his pitiful Russian Communist Party and keep it barely alive.
Again follow the money when clymers like this one worry about the planet and humanity!
I did not put in the deaths in Africa, the Balkans, eastern Europe, including Poland and ??????
Sorry about that, but you were correct about 30 million dead Russians or people of the various republics. We will probably never know the total.
I would also count the 50,000 Americans who were killed in the Korean conflict and the 50,000 killed in V. Nam! They were killed by communists!
I have a retired CIA friend who firmly believes the total killed by communism directly and indirectly in the last century was at least 100 million souls! Yet our left wingers are still in mad lust for the commie regimes and love Tio Castro!
Thanks for the heads up and question re my reply!
Having Russia, China and Iraq at each other's throat would be a coup for the USA!
We should encourage it!
IRAQ Should read IRAN.
Yet our left wing mediots since the terrrible beginnings of slaughter by the communists in the 1920's have ignored their slaughter and focused on the slaughter by the Nazis!
The New York Slimes is the worst. They have lied and spiked the horrible truth about the slaughter by the communists for 80 years. They are still pro Castro and hide the realities of the ChiComs.
I don't have time today to look up the actual stats, maybe some great Freeper will post the total kill for the commies and the total kill for the Nazis during the last century!
