I posted several of my searches from the other night and a small part of the articles found, not the ones with the
strongest opinions.

If one wishes to use the searches that I did, the search words are in each post, I use a simple general search at
Google, not a confining advanced search.

For months, in searches that have nothing to do with Russia, I have found reports that caused me to have doubts on the truths of the accepted reports of the Chechnya situation.

I did not know of Svni, until she posted here, so had no early opinions and was somewhat open, until I started the research that took all night, to answer a question that
Calpernia asked.

I find that the reports on the theater, from the newspapers are not easy to find and was surprised that it took so long to find the ones that I did.

It is true, there is no way to know the total truth, but one does have to try.

Svni, I thank you for sharing your story with me, it is important to me to know as much as I can about any thing that I take an interest in.

Peter, I thank you for giving me a chance to learn more than I knew a week ago.

My number one goal for my searches, deals with the muslim terrorists and I am very alarmed, that so many of my searches turn up a Russian connection, it is there, from all angles. Right down to the protest marches against America in the streets of the United States, every day.

There is something wrong with the picture, I am told that Russia is my friend and they sell arms to my countries enemies.

Therefore, I must keep seeking the truth.

I'll try to pass on your words.

Personally, I don't think it's that cut and dried. "Russia" is a country, she doesn't do anything. People do. Leaders come and go, and often the most well-meaning leader has underlings who do not carry out their mission as the leader wanted.

I don't think V.V.Putin is the anti-Christ, or a killer as some suggest. He's a product of his environment, which would be a challenge for the strongest from any nation to survive in, let alone thrive.

The middle-ranked byurokratiya has been Russia's scourge since the days of Peter the Great. Certain parlimentarians order renumeraton of Beslan victims, and nasty mid-level bureaucrats make the grieving victims jump through hoops. Is this the fault of the top man in the Kremlin? Partially, since he has not reformed the system. But who can? Putin's systematic reforms are always judged in the worst possible light, by those who look for commies under the bed every night. Thank God we aren't running things ;-)

Nord-ost was a tragedy, but the blame is squarely with the terrorists. However: what nation would not demand an inquiry into the matter? If a sheriff solved a hostage situation at the local bank and ended up with 20% casualties, he'd certainly be answering questions.

Nord-ost indirectly led to Beslan, because no one learned from their mistakes. Lots of guns and tanks, no psychology.
