Terrorists in southern america.

But surprisingly that doesnt matter to us westerns what they do in S.America.

Another good place is some parts of Africa.
Not like we much give a crap what happens there either, it isn't terrorizing our land.

Ireland is a rather good example... its a country with western culture.


There are examples if you bother to open your mind and not view it all narrowly.



Hortlund,

What does post 9/11 have to do with examples of non-muslim terrorists?
It's not like terrorists suddenly appeared or became muslims after the 9/11.
Besides it's hardly 4 years ago! in the history that is like yesterday!

What amuses me is how some americans thinks Bush has made their country more safer than someone else, *SINCE* there hasn't been any terrorist attacks on american soil since 9/11.
But if looks in the past, the terrorists do not strike every year or every second year.
They have the patience to wait when it's about big targets.

wonder what the fall out in Chechnya is going to be over this.


Haven't they been at war for about 10 years or so?

Not really, it's sort of been an arm punching contest.  Just this time Chechnya swung for the nuts instead of the arm.

I wonder if you'd still hold the same viewpoint if we'd of seen pictures of innocent civillians blasted to bits by artillery and bombs.
BTW, the gloves came off a while ago in this war. What I don't get is the plain stupidity of fanatics. It never helps their side when they target innocent civillians, especially when targeting obvious noncombatants such as babies, chiildren and the elderly. This type of warfare/terrorism only leads to counter attacks as each side feels justified in taking out the innopcent from the other side. No one wins that type of war.

Alltogether it's very convenient that he directly implicates the main Chechen leaders in the attacks, isnt it?



Keeping in mind that other thread what do you make of ths picture?


My thoughts exactly. Although it wouldn't be a first if the people will take it.

I suppose the Chechen's already believe the actions of the Russian army during the two chechen wars justify in turn their own actions. The increasing move away from the nationalist to the religious motivation only further strengthens their resolve to commit such actions.
