I wonder how long it will take Russia to come around to our side of the War on Terrorism

I am not going to hold my breath waiting that is for sure. Look at the French. They had an oil tanker rammed by terrorists, they know it is terrorists yet they still have not switched to our sides. I imagine Russia will come over sooner then Franch though.

From Russian perspective the question is on which side we are - of the Saudi sponsored Wahabites in Chechnya or on the side of Russians?

My take on the Russian stance is a little different. The Russians begged us to help them fight the Muslims in Chechnya and were perplexed bythe US defense of the Muslims in Kosovo. They warned that the Muslims were not our friends and asked why Clinton was supporting them, against the Christians.

Then we have the nerve to ask the Russians to help in our fight against Muslim terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Russians have been fighting the Muslims for alot longer than we have.

They came over in Sept. 1999 -- when a series of apartment bombings by Islamists killed a lot of innocents.

A bit of info: Russia has been fighting these maggots far longer then America. As a matter of fact, less then a year before 911, Russia was planning on bombing the Taliban, while the US was still giving them cash for getting rid of drugs....The US admin stopped them.
