1) Well, "they" blew up "our" people in the Moscow & Volgodonsk apartment bombings: an eye for an eye.""

Khleb za khleb, ochi za ochi, these must be true Russians
patriots! gg Wait until they start seeing the body bags by the thousands, they change their mind!

As for Serbian dead, both side exaggerated the causalty for
their own benefits! No real numbers available!

In Moscow, there's little support for the conflict and
much pessimism about it's outcome.

There's something horribly familiar about this week's
events in Chechnya - the columns of Russian tanks
churning across the fields, the blank frightened eyes of
teenaged conscripts, the smug assurance of Russian
generals talking about precision bombing, the President
doing his traditional disappearing act.
