Actually, I never heard or saw a TV show saying all Russians were criminals, or that you ate babies, but maybe you were hiding something. Every trip I have made to the fromer SU, I found most people to be very nice, hospitable, and good all around people. With the exception of our "military escort" who were corrupt and sadistic bastards, the people there were great. The only "bad" thing I ever heard about the USSR was the obvious, your government was corrupt, did not believe in human rights, and generally oppressed the masses so that a few could live in luxury.
This can be said about any government. I have told you - I don't like our militia, and I think that the only way to fight the situation is do decimate it, and hang bastards on street lamp posts

The only "anti-Russian" film I ever saw was Red Dawn, and that was so far fetched I laughed. Personally the only police I saw in my visits drove around in Black Zil's and looked like police. Maybe they had there RPG's and RPK's hidden. LOL
Here only big brass-hats drive around in black ZILs, but they prefer Mercedes-Benz now... Militia cars are now white-blue...

So, 25 people act like animals, and now the whole of the American Army is sadistic torturers... come on Boroda, your anti-US goggles are blinding you. It is wrong of those few, but they will be punished, you can be very sure of that. They (the soldiers who did this) gave the US Army a black eye, but you can be sure they will pay severely, especially with the president's attention fixed on them.
I hope they will be punished, but I remember what happned to the company commander who slaughtered Song Mi. He was sentenced to 3 years in jail and released almost immediately after trial. No one of his soldiers who killed several hundreed people was punished.

As for torture and carnage wrecked on a population, need we remind you of the USSr's policies in Afganistan??? I seem to remeber bombs in toys distributed amongst the Afgani population by your Army that maimed and killed thousands of CHILDREN. Not to mention your wonderous propesity for "electrically" interogating prisoners.
Bombs in toys?! Are you nuts? Watched too mant Rambo-3 or what?!
Trap-bombs in toys were invented by "freedom-fighters" that you supported. Also - bombs in tape-recorders, thermoses, other goods Soviet soldiers were buying or finding in "rebels" bases. Don't tell me it was made by Soviets. I have many friends who served there and saw it.
It seems to me it's a nature of your propaganda: first teach terrorists to fit bombs into toys and then accuse Russians. People will believe everything you say about Russian atrocities.

I have someone who would love to meet you, he is a close friend who lives in the states, but had been captured by your forces over there. He has false teeth, because he crushed his while be electrocuted by Russian Army personnel who were questioning him. So don't lecture US about atrocities, when you could write a book on it from your recent history.
Ah, a mercenary? He should be thankfull he got out of there alive. Foreigners caught with arms can be executed immediately as mercenaries according to all the conventions. Literally - mercenaries are not humans, they are dangerous animals.
Did Soviet officers who questioned him make pictures? I bet he'll say they did. If he's the person who told you about Soviet bombs in toys - everything else he says is a lie.

Well I guess a bullet in the base of the skull would definitely keep your prison population down... ask Stalin's former regime, they perfected the art.
Did you see the statistics of death penalies during Stalin's times? You'll be surprised. I wonder how it compares to the US and Western statistics at the same time...

I do, and I know more than 65% of the recent Iraqui poll does too. I am sure if you talked to less Baathists, and more Suni Muslims and Kurds who were severly oppressed, you might find the number is quite high. But you are morethan welcome to listen to liberally biased press, it is guaranteed to make you look like the stooge you look like now.
The purpose of all public opinion polls is to manipulate public opinion.
The purpose of all public opinion polls performed by occupation forces is to justify the occupation.
Sorry, but this things are obvious....
