MOSCOW, Sep 13, 2001 -- (Agence France Presse) Russian ultra-nationalist lawmaker Vladimir Zhirinovsky charged on Wednesday that aggressive U.S. foreign policy was to blame for the unprecedented terrorist attack on the United States.
"The United States did not learn any lessons from Hitler. Washington's desire to dominate the world led to these tragic consequences," he told AFP.
"This is only the start," said Zhirinovsky, firebrand leader of the Liberal Democratic Party and deputy speaker of the Russian State Duma lower house of parliament.
"Those who organized these terrorist acts know that the United States will take revenge, causing many victims, but in response they will carry out fresh attacks in the entire world," he warned.
Sometimes called the "clown prince" of Russian politics, Zhirinovsky once famously vowed "wash Russian army boots in the Indian Ocean" if he became president. He was charged four years ago with starting a brawl in the Duma. ((c) 2001 Agence France Presse)

Zhirinovsky is a loon. It is completely unimportant what he thinks.

Funny is that not what George Washington said in his farewell address.....oh I forgot Americans a not allowed speeches from dead white guys
GEORGE WASHINGTON'S FAREWELL ADDRESS
To the People of the United States.
FRIENDS AND FELLOW-CITIZENS: Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens,) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake; since history and experience prove, that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of Republican Government. But that jealousy, to be useful, must be impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defence against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation, and excessive dislike of another, cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots, who may resist the intrigues of the favorite, are liable to become suspected and odious; while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests.
The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connexion as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. �

I could not care less what "Zero-nuffski" has to say about anything; he is an escaped mental patient of some kind. BTW, Zero, America dominates the world by example, more than force of any kind. Only a buffoon or complete retard would hold these views; Zero is overqualified in both those areas, and probably several others......

We need and should support Israel and the Jews as much as possible; I won't waste my breathe trying to convince you, but Christians of all stripes know that treating the Jews good pays dividends, and they know why. The Arab/Muslim trash that did this did not do it because of Israel; they did it because we are a non-Muslim example that they can't stand; a properous, powerful, non-Islamic contradiction to their "Taliban" paradise they want, one where everyone but the leadership are slaves. Jews aren't the prob; the Muslims are, as evidenced on September 11th; WORD!!!!
