It has gotten quite alot of attention here in Sweden, but perhaps that's due to our close proximity to Russia.

I can't believe that this situation can be so openly ignored. Does Bush and Blair not see that if Muslim extremists are to blame then Russia is a potential close ally. It is well documented that the current state of Russia is poor but when under threat we should all work together. I haven't heard as much from either Blair or Bush on this matter. This is not a matter for NATO you know!

I am quite sure that President Bush is quite aware of the situation. But he is not forgetting the stance that Russia took in the runup to the Iraq War, either.

I hate that so many people died and agree that there should be more news here about it, this is the first I heard about it

I have heard it on three different news stations on the radio today, driving back and forth from school...
if this makes anyone feel any better.

It has been front page news here in Canada for three days.

And it's now almost a certainty that it was Chechen terrorist activity.

Yep! Ding ding ding! Personally, when it's a US Election year, I sequester myself from watching ANY TV news, as I hate to see all the BS political attacks thrown around, it really makes them both look BAD. So until Nov, I will stick with Website news, and get headlines and stuff, where I can sift through the attacks and BS and read about each political entity and make my vote.
