Perhaps you haven't.
If you had, you'd know that terrorism was around long before either Russia or the US were even countries.
From this I guessed you were Russian.
From this I figured you MUST be Russian. Peculiarly, Russians seem obsessed with being more brutal than their enemies and seem to take pride in that.
Toad, the Russian people have been fighting militant islamists for about 1,150 (one thousand one hundred fifty) years.
So, every Russian kid knows that the Russian Army is fighting in order to eliminate inhuman predators (a.k.a. Chechen rebels).
And every Russian soldier fighting in Chechnya knows too well that this war is not a chivalric deed, nor is it a gentlemen's boxing match.
When Russian people are engaged in a war against a mercyless enemy, they know that it is
criminally stupid to let that enemy enjoy the privilege of gentlemen's rules of war.
In this respect I can reiterate the anekdote about a British general who crushed a Muslim 'independence' uprising somewhere in the South-East Asia using simple and effective "strategy". That general ordered that the captured insurgents be shot by the firing squad, their dead bodies rolled up into pig skins and buried in the pits filled with pig dung at the undisclosed locations in the jungles. In this case there is 100% guarantee that the so-called 'martyrs' won't ever get to their Muslim paradise. So, the uprising ended in six months.
You are against such measures. So, please, brace yourself up for another suicide attack.
Because these fathersuckers understand only the overwhelming force. Anything less than that is seen by them as your weakness, i.e. the license for them to humiliate and kill you.
If you don't dig it after all that happened in recent years around the world (I mean all the terrorist activity), you better really shut up, or, as I used to recommend, stick your tongue into
your ace-hole. This may help the rest of the world.
