Once again the people in Palm Beach are delusional. This editorial shows that they are trying to score points against Bush and Putin without knowing a thing about what they are talking about. Please send your complaints here: http://www.palmbeachpost.com/opinion/content/info/mail.html

Yes they are delusional and don't know history.

" Russia has been trying for a decade to succeed in Chechnya."

This situation has been a tinderbox since the mid-19th century. Lots of Russian literature surrounds the conflict. Guess no one in Palm Beach has read Tolstoy.

Just saying it's from the Palm Beach Post is enough-- the 'barf alert' is therefore understood.

That paper should come with crayons.

The goal is to convert insurgents from violent opposition to opposition from within a political framework. Russia doesn't know how to do that in Chechnya.

This is simply untrue. Russia has offered all kinds of concessions to the chechens, but the chechens prefer killing, beheading, mutilating, and hostage-taking, gangster lifestyles, violence.

How they be compared? I mean, in light of the MSM's complete refusal to describe the Chechan 'militants' as Islamic. The media is generally adamant in not wanting us to associate terrorist acts against us with the Chechans, lest it detract from the media's mantra that our real enemy is the RNC.

To the author of this tripe, I sincerely hope that Hurricane Frances pays them a visit.
