Americans don't really care about Chechenya and probably never will. But we do care that Arabs and other Islamists were involved in the attack on School No. 1. Al Qaeda might have had a permanent "pass" if they only attacked Russians and Chinese, just as the Russians did not really care about 9/11. I heard some Democrat commentator today about how 9/11 was all the fault of the Taliban so we should have stuck with Afghanistan. Wrong. Al Qaeda was in Afghanistan because the Taliban gave them safe haven. Al Qaeda hides wherever it can. Islamism is everywhere. My country. Yours. Pretty much every other country on earth. Focussing on one country only allows them to operate with impunity in others. But we cannot tolerate state sponsorship of terrorism, period. Period. That's number one priority in draining the swamp. Any country that gives them refuge must stop.

First let me say that my correction post in no way changes my opinion that the documents are phony. Steven, You make some good points. I would emphasize one thing and comment on your last two sentences. One out of four humans on earth are Muslims. We are naive if we think they cannot conquer us. We need both brains and brawn in our military. We are fortunate right now to have both. But if we let Kerry rob those currently serving of their honor, as he did Vietnam Vets, we will have neither brains nor brawn to fight with. Kerry has the unique proven ability to reduce us to indeed be fighting with spitballs. unclewest
