Lest we forget. The Nord-Ost Theater incident was only one pearl in Basayev's necklace of barbarism, but it was particularly lustrous from the Islamist point of view. It put the Russian government in the position of having to take action of some sort, when any action it took -- to include none at all -- would result in large numbers of civilian casualties. I'm hoping that Shamil's 72 virgins are busy poking him in the nether regions with white hot pitchforks even as we speak blog, and that they continue doing so until well after Doomsday. |
