RUSSIA: Europeans Blame Russia for School Massacre

September 4, 2004: Russia has ordered North Ossetia to be sealed off, and more troops and police have been sent in. So far, 20 of the terrorists have been killed, ten of them said to be Arabs, and three captured. At least four more were still on the loose. One of the teenage captives reported that the terrorists had placed bombs all over the school gymnasium, where many of the hostages were being held. She said some of the bombs were taped to the wall, and tape on one bomb came loose, the bomb fell and went off, causing the terrorists to panic and set off more bombs and start shooting at hostages. While most countries offered condolences to Russia, the European Union demanded to know why there were so many casualties. The European Union has long held Russia responsible for the Chechen situation, downplaying the role of Chechen gangsters, religious fanatics and terrorists.

Poor terrorists. Russia made them ANGRY. They had to kill hundreds of children to make themselves FEEL BETTER.

re: "Maybe Russia would like to become the U.S.'s fifty-first state"

Over the last couple of years I have had the opportunity to work with counselors who accompany Russian orphans to America to attend camps and stay with families that hopefully will eventually adopt them. Without exception I have found them to be the most pleasant and agreeable people you could hope to work with! I asked one of them during the last camp, through an interpreter, what they think of the US when they get over here. She said that the ones who are here for the first time used to be amazed, but over the last few years the conditions especially around Moscow have become very much like those here in America.

I'm sure the EU will be just as tolerant when similar outrages occur on their soil. Of course, when that happens, the fault will be ours for kicking off the WOT.

Great Britain - get out of the EU while you can, before we have to get into a war with the Axis of Weasels to rescue you... (channelling my inner Churchill.)

Their day is indeed coming, but they're counting on US to save their a$$es, as usual. Easy to think you're superior when the hardest job you've had the past 60 years is finding excuses.

Right, just like 9/11 was America's fault. Wait til something like this happens in the suburbs around Paris or Munich. Who's fault will it be then? (probably GWB and Halliburton's fault).

Here's how Old Europe deals with terror:

"To free the hostages, United States military officials say, Germany paid him a ransom of nearly $6 million — equivalent to a quarter of Niger's defense budget — making him instantly one of the most powerful Islamic militants in North Africa. He is a leader of the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, or G.S.P.C., which was formed in 1998 and has many links with Al Qaeda." http://www.globalpolicy.org/empire/terrorwar/analysis/2004/0511training.htm

Well, if Russia thought that by voting against the U.S. in the UN Security Council would win them favor with the Euro girly-men, now they see they are all alone. How sad.

Well. It doesn't mean much I know..but I haven't tasted French wine [for example] in many years, or German beer..or a lot of other things European...and I won't knowingly ever do so again.

They can all go to hell. Especially in light of the blood we spilled for their deliverance. Bastards.

Yup - the 80-90s was a time when the USA (Dems and Repubs) openly sided with the jihad. 9/11 was blowback for that.

"For too long, President Clinton and Vice President Gore have refused to use their power and influence to pressure the Kremlin into genuine negotiations to end the bloody conflict in Chechnya which already has cost countless thousands of lives of men, women, and children.

"Aside from empty rhetoric, the Administration has not lifted even a finger to make clear the outrage of the United States at the atrocities committed by Russian forces against innocent Chechen civilians.

Senator Jesse Helms, Republican Senator from North Carolina, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, June 9, 2000

Where can I find out about the history of this situation? I plead total ignorance of the politics over there.

Of course it's Russia's fault their children were murdered by sadistic butchers. Just like it's our fault our people were terrorized in the skies and used as human bombs to destroy our buildings. Just as it's Israel's fault that their flesh is exploded by suicide bombers.

No, it could never be the fault of the black hearted murderers that commit the acts.
