wade said:Eagle - I never said we should get involved in the Russian-Chechin war in any way. I'm just trying to point out that sympathy for the Russians (as a peoples, not their individual loss) is misplaced when considering the overall picture.
Right is right and wrong is wrong, pure and simple. You make it sound like we need to support the side of evil in our war on "islamofascism". I simply point out that in this case, we should support neither side. We should see that both sides have resorted to evil. When we support the Russians we justify the Moslims in their belief that we are in fact trying to destroy their culture.
Believe me, I think Hillary in the White house would be about the worst thing that could happen to this country. Well, I take that back - Hillary in the white house with a democratic congress would be the worst thing that could happen. My point was that with the current policies and lack of forthought that I see going on in the current admininstration/congress - that is the possible backlash. I think Hillary will run in 2008, and I think she will choose any platform she thinks will get her elected, selfish or not.
Wade.
Sympathy for innocent children will always take precedence, especially when targeted as they were. If you are just looking at the Russian-Chechyan conflict alone, I can agree with you about not necessarily taking sides. This ongoing conflict has a long history that goes back for centuries.
However, the marks of International Islamofascism are all over this incident and to narrow your focus to just the local conflict is seriously myopic.
Well, I'm glad you see Hillary just like I do.
