The State Dept is criticizing CRITICIZING!!!!!! the Taliban for not stopping the looting of the US embassy in Kabul. This is madness.

World's leaders share blame for attacks, says Putin BERLIN - Russian President Vladimir Putin told the German parliament on Tuesday that world leaders were 'all to blame' for the terrorist attacks in the United States, because they trusted a security system that dates back to the Cold War.'I think we are all to blame, above all we politicians, because the citizens gave us their confidence... because we put our confidence in an outmoded security system,' he told the lower house, the Bundestag, in a speech delivered in German. He is the first Russian president to address the Bundestag. 'We talk of partnership, but in reality we have never trusted each other,' he said, blaming the habits of the Cold War. 'We are not free of certain cliches and stereotypes from the Cold War. The Cold War is over... The world is no longer bipolar. The world has become more, much more complicated.' He drew a direct link between the breakaway Russian republic of Chechnya and the attacks in the US, saying that 'after having acted in Chechnya, religious fanatics carried out the attacks' that killed nearly 7,000 in Washington, New York and Pennsylvania. 'A fundamentalist state had threatened to come into being' in Chechnya, the Russian President said, warning against the mixture of terrorism and Islam. He said world leaders have not 'noticed change'. He said Russia felt that 'sometimes decisions were taken without us', and that Moscow was then asked simply to 'confirm' positions already taken. 'Is that true partnership?' he asked, in an apparent reference to cooperation with the US and Nato. --AFP
