Nothing short of turning Mecca into a sea of molten silicon is likely to get meaningful attention.
I would hardly compare the Red Kremlin politicos that screwed up Afghanistan to the likes of Ivan the Terrible, Michael Romanov, Peter the Great or even Josef Stalin. Unlike the Soviet-Afghan War, in this war, a Bush led American would be Moscow's side.
The media would prefer this go away sooner rather than later...at the expense of more lives.
We cured the twin political psychoses of fascism and Japanese militarism with mass shock therapy. In Germany it consisted of England and the U.S. bombing much of the country to dust, while the Russians subjected the east to an utterly brutal conquest on the ground. The psychotherapy for Japan consisted of fire bombing most of their significant cities to dust followed by the final super-therapy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
After the foregoing intensive psychotherapy the Germans and Japanese came to see the light, got rehabilitated, and returned to civilization. Absent the therapy, the disease would have continued and killed or enslaved everybody else in the world.
It looks like the Mideast and the Arabs might need a bit of the same. A superb way to start would be by cluster bombing and strafing every public demonstration supporting Islamofascism and every funeral for any of their subhuman thugs. Heavy doses of therapy should also be administered whenever they use mosques, schools, or hospitals as cover. Hiroshima therapy should be applied to Iranian nuclear facilities. It would be counterproductive, in administering the aforesaid therapy, to concern ourselves with collateral damage.
If we, the Russians, the Israelis, and the Brits do the foregoing, there's a good chance that the less irrational people in the Islamic world will reject the Islamofascists so as to avoid receiving the benefits of more therapy.
And tens of thousands of Americans will die as a result.
Mean to say, there is nothing specific in their news TODAY. What was covered over the weekend I don't know.
The appeasers will be wringing their hands.....but reason must prevail. We must make sure a clear unambiguous message is sent to islamic fundamentalist terrorists.
Regarding Russia reaching out the Israel. One news report stated that Russian military units will train with Israel in military exercises. These exercises will be an attempt to deal with any future hostage situations; and maybe also precision strikes against terrorists.
As I posted earlier, this is not the Russia of old, which was really the USSR. They no longer have the eastern state hordes of cannon fodder to throw into the fray. Nor do they have a Stalinist apparatus in place to command sacrifice out of fear. Their military is ruptured in body and soul. To date they have not been able to crush the chechens, who are at their very border. That said, they are still Russians and hopefully that still counts for something.

But they still have thousands of megatons of thermonuclear weapons at their disposal. Another incident like Beslan, and Grozny may become a radioactive crater.
Oh yeah, that'll solve everything. /sarc
This article is nuts. Putin and the FSB are in it.
save for later bump
Good post, #73.
Either way, the prosecution didn't make or even have a case. And they had an obsene 2 yrs. The defense can rest, but for the sake of justice, if the world will ever have some, Milosevic should have his day in court.
W mentioned the Balkans once in his convention speech. It disturbed me then but I'll have to get the transcript and check the context.
If we can talk all the time about Vietnam, why not once in awhile talk about the trashing of US leaning, for centuries, Yugoslavia. After all, it was Clinton's 'big' war and why were we supporting terrorist instead of taking them out. Was Holbrook, Madeline and socks Sandy being 'bribed'?
