The Beslan tragedy is the worst terror-related human catastrophe in the history of Russia. There are at least 335 victims, mostly children, who died as a direct result of this terror act. Over 700 victims, also mostly children, have been hospitalized, a large number of them with very serious injuries.

Originally posted by Lepanto Lol. I meant the collateral damage part perhaps you don't understand what it means?

What. Are you suggesting I have no intelligence?
You can say you meant C.D. part if you like, but you certainly did not articulate that.
The fact i have to click 'here' everytime I choose to view your posts shows your status in my eyes, and to think I was starting to give you credit for some 'on point' posts. maybe I was wrong. I have no interest in wasting my time replyin to flames of an sort. Keep your posts on the debate level. For everyones sake.

I can give two shits about if you click here or click there. The fact that you click shows me that you care. Also, yes you're stupid because I don't have to articulate a QUOTE. It's funny how you start assuming things every time lol. I simply said you've made a stupid comparission because you've left out half (and most important one) of the quote I provided and you retort by saying that I supposedly stupid, that I'm flaming you that i didn't make it clear. Stop getting all defensive.

Oh, and also do you even know the reason Chechnyans are even fighting before you post about what they're doing nowdays?

If you want to debate the 'most important part' of the quote fine.
August 9 2004 whitehouse press conference:

quote:

MR. McCLELLAN: The United States military goes to great lengths to make sure that we minimize any loss of innocent human life, and they go out of their way to make sure that that happens. This administration is strongly committed to making sure we do everything we can to minimize the loss of innocent human life. Q I didn't ask you that. I asked you if we have killed any innocent people. MR. McCLELLAN: And I would point out that this -- that the war in Iraq was one where we were able to target and remove a brutal regime from power while minimizing any collateral damage --

Notice he refers to collateral damage. It may be minimised but it is still recognised that it will and has occured.

Absolutely, they were attacked because they declared independence, and russia refused to recognize it. The terrorist attacks only came due to the atrocities that occured during the russia-chechnya war from 94-96.

I will tell you why. Russian women are like chickens everyone gets to beat on them. That is sexually of course.

Also Putin does not care about his people so what is the damage that Russian women are whores? I mean they have always been whores so why not sell them for profit?

@ skot_e

dude, what happens in Chechnya and Iraq isn't the same thing ok? knock it off, bro.

Others have achieved this without resorting to terrorism. In my view they are not innocent at all. If they had of done things differently, then yes I would agree they were innocent.
I am not defending Russian actions by the way.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Women strapping bombs to themselves? That sounds pretty desperate to me.

Do women get 72 virgins too? And if so why would they want 72 high school geeks with acne all over again?
