> What do you mean, Ivanov "cut the BS"? The Russians have been complaining all along about "double standards."

They have been complaining a little bit but I found the tone of Ivanov's recent statements a lot more harsh in "quality" AND "quantity" and a bit more explicit than before.

>>>"Why are the organizations now coming to the North Caucasus so lacking in passion about the situation in Yugoslavia, which lost 50 percent of its industry as a result of the (West's) aggression, and today faces a humanitarian catastrophe?

>>>"Why hasn't a single mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) or the European Union gone to Yugoslavia to examine the state of affairs there?"

>>>"This gives rise to questions, both in terms of moral issues and in terms of double standards."

>Their argument, roughly, has been: "You killed foreigners during the NATO operation. We are killing our own people! So we are more justified than you were!"

Russians are killng terrorists and Nato was only bombing Milosevic and his ethnic cleansers. I don't know, I guess we are seeing the way wars will be fought in the 21st century...
