They use the same distinctions here, too.

I didnt read the article, i heard it on the radio, i guess the guy messed up. My mistake.

It's a great strategy, cold and heartless, but powerful nonetheless. With all those children it's going to be hard for Russia not to negotiate. They have a lot on the line if they decide to be tough and just ignore the requests.

It doesn't matter. You DO NOT negotiate. Not one concession. Not one word. The only way to convince terrorists that these tactics will not work is by not allowing them to work. If you give them ANYTHING, it will only encourage more terrorist acts such as this.

Is that a harsh stance? Yes, and a difficult one too, but its the only way to handle the situation without creating even more problems.

Look at Spain. One train bombing and their whole society caved in to the pressure and what was a close race became a blow out. Do you think that didn't encourage the terrorists to try even more attacks like that one? They affected the ELECTION PROCESS of another nation, so they most likely will try and do it again.

that's just sad and sick. my dad's going to russia in a few days..i hpe he's okay whilst there..and i think he's going to moscow, too!

[Happydude]

stupid people...can't they all just get along, the terrorists don't understand that whoever was captured and is now in jail got there because of what they, and exactly what these guys are doing now, how stupid do you have to be to not realize what you are doing....they want to be their own counrty...WHY?! i don't see a point, it would be much easier and much less of a hastle if they stayed with the federation.

This drama is not in Moscow.....

And Happydude, I think the Chechens are being discriminated by the Russians, I'm not sure about that.

I don't want to judge on the situation because I don't totally understand it....

[Canyarion]

Blech. They invaded. People died. It's not over yet.

[Professor S]

When are terrorists going to understand that you don't **** with Mother Russia? Has the government ever done ANYTHING remotely like a concession, or do they attack and kill people?

Hey terrorists... GET A CLUE.

I already said why the Russians invaded Chechnya. It's because Chechen forces invaded Dagestan, a neighbouring Russian republic in the federation.
