""But we also would like to know from the Russian authorities how this tragedy could have happened," he said."

Well, allowing rag-heads to roam your country unescorted and unsupervised ranks pretty near the top of my list........

THe liberal fix was already in.

The AP and Reuters headlines for 12 hours was, "XXX Dead after Russians storm school"

Never mind that the first hostages out all said the terrorists started it when they detonated the explosives in the gym.

Again, liberal orthodoxy trumps the truth every time.

After completing his secondary education, he studied law at Leiden University, the Hague Academy of International Law and Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Mass., where he obtained a Master of Laws (LL.M.) degree. In 1968 he was awarded a doctorate in law by Leiden University for his thesis entitled 'Non-recognition and treaty relations'.

Yes, the children were dead after the devils planted bombs all around them that were filled with bolts, nuts and other shards designed to do maximum damage. They're dead after they were shot in the back by the Islamists. Their moms and dads and babuschkas are dead after being executed in front of their eyes by the Chechen devils. The western media needs to face up to the truth, and it won't.

"There are only two things I hate:

intolerance of other cultures,

and the Dutch."

Here is what I wrote under the subject, Causes of Terrorism:

I am encouraged by your call to address the root causes of terrorism given that Europeans have been in the forefront of western nations supporting it. When Europeans host and give money to Palestinian and Chechen terrorists, they are promoting mass murder. Perhaps some introspection on your part will lead to a change in policy. Then again, I will not hold my breath. Europeans have always loved mass murder and the Dutch have always done their part to encourage it.

Your shameful, high-handed approach to the Russian tragedy is only worthy of our contempt. Today we are all Russians. All of us, that is, except you.

I hope the Baltics don't let their hatred of Russia overwhelm their good sense in the war on terrorism.

I thought I heard somewhere that these Chechens are connected to Hamas in some way. Can't remember. Is Hamas in the PLO?

In the disputed remarks, made in a written statement issued late Friday, the Dutch minister said that: "All countries in the world need to work together to prevent tragedies like this.

Problem is, most of Europe thinks "working together" means writing resolutions and holding committee meetings, but certainly never actually removing the threat where it lives.

"But we also would like to know from the Russian authorities how this tragedy could have happened," he said.

So while in one breath he wants to "work together" to prevent it happening, in the next he essentially implies Russia somehow asked for it? Sounds familiar.

I figure we can give Europe to Russia in exchange for all the lands in the Western Hemisphere....

Next time, they'll get a native-speaker Russian to do the translating, is my thought.

I really don't know, but wouldn't be a bit surprised. They're all one happy family.
