The Russian School "tragedy" is a lie perpetrated by the Liberal Media
It couldn't have happened.

I know why.

Invading Iraq made the world a much safer place by taking out Saddam Hussein, so it's impossible that terror could hit the Russians in the skies and in their schools. We all know that Saddam Hussein, not Osama bin Laden, was the real terror nexus and with him out of the way, the world is safe again!

This is clearly a liberal conspiracy to try and lie and discredit the war on terror. Those Osama-lovin' Democrats are at it again!

And the biggest proof of all that this is a liberal conspiracy? It was on CNN -- the Clinton News Network!

The whole thing was staged -- an act -- just like the moon landing and Columbus sailing around the world (the world is actually flat).

Besides, the terrorists who attacked Russia hate them for their freedom.

Just thought you should know. ;)

3. Don't you understand?
We're safer now thanks to our Fearless Leader. But things are more dangerous now than ever, so give the Fearless Leader more power and he will make things EVEN BETTER!!!!!

6. False flag op to justify going into Iran and Chechnya.
Edited on Mon Sep-06-04 12:02 PM by DenverDem
Terrorists attack strategic targets, not counter productive targets that would turn public opinion radically against them.

The question to ask is "Cui bono?" Who benefits?

8. From the Globe and Mail (Canada)...
....

Mr. Putin took a defiant tone, acknowledging corruption in Russian law-enforcement agencies but lashing out pointedly at unspecified foreign foes seeking to tear the country apart.

"Some want to cut off a juicy morsel from us; others are helping them. They are helping, believing that Russia, as one of the world's biggest nuclear powers, is still posing a threat to them," Mr. Putin said. "Therefore, this threat must be removed."

Analysts said Mr. Putin had turned a new page in his foreign policy, blaming terrorism on the West. "(W)ho fears our nuclear weapons? Who are they aimed at? It's the West. It's not Osama bin Laden," said Pavel Felgenhauer, an independent military analyst.

Mr. Putin promised measures to "strengthen the unity" of Russia and tighten its borders, and demanded "action from our law-enforcement organs that would be adequate to the level and scale of the new threats."

9. Iraq and Chechnya
The deal was if we invaded Iraq, we would give Russia a free hand in Chechnya. So they bombed the crap out of their rebelious province.

In desperation, the people of Chechnya resisted by any means they could... remember, terrorism is the tactic of the weak and powerless.

And now, because the weak were monsters, thier homeland will suffer more.

More bombs will be dropped on Chechnya. The result will be for every person killed by bombing thier will be a friend or relative who will get thier revenge by engaging in terrorism. They will counter billion dollar airplanes dropping 1000lb bombs by strapping 20lb bombs to themselves and blowing up themselves and anyone around them. Which will result in more bombs being dropped on thier homes.

The cycle cannot be ended by bombs.

(sound familiar?)
