Re: The Turning Point?

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=s … ]Terrorist crisis in Russia

*I have a strong feeling that a turning point has been reached with this latest situation.  Most people don't like little children and infants being targeted for violence.  Regardless of some attempting to attribute this to Israelis (yeah, right) it is being roundly condemned by Islamic leaders. 

The perpetrators deserve everything that is coming to them.  What goes around, comes around.

Re: The Turning Point?

Excellent article, Cindy, and isn't it about time?!!   ???

    At long last we have at least some of the world's muslim leaders waking up and smelling the coffee .. or, in this case, the stench of blood - blood on their own people's hands.

    Thank you, Cindy! A ray of hope in a gloomy world.   smile

Well I'll be... This might be progress.

Or it might just be a hiccup. Time will tell.

Re: The Turning Point?

It could be a turning point but not necassarily what we would want. Currently based in France, Britain and the USA are Chechen independence groups and there web sites. It may be that the Russians will have a serious backlash against all the chechens and there tactic supporters.
