If you need any proof of this just look to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Obviously this does not apply to the russian situation, I am speaking in a broader sense.

I have to agree with The Hunter of Jahanna. You guys are looking at only the negative if thay hadn't done what they did there would have been 700 lives lost due to insane terrorist, not to mention destroying a perfectly good building. Don't you think that the US government would shoot down a civilian aircraft with hundreds of innocent passengers on board to protect life on the ground, or do a similar thing in similar circumstances. We probaly would not hear about it though because they would cover it up to avoid public outcry. North American politians are great at lying to the public or giving us half truths.

Pritcke, 118 people died in this. 117 of them were killed by their own rescuers. 67 were dead after the rescue, leaving 50 that could have been saved in hospital - but the russians *still* wont say what they used to poison them, thus making it difficult or impossible for the doctors to treat them. 45 are still in grave condition according to this mornings paper. Out of date now though.
Thats a lot of negative to look at, therefore it predominates. But until you get to the point about where you get to the non-disclosure of vital information, the rescue effort went way better than I would have guessed. @Hunter. Sorry, but I cant agree. Maybe those terrorists were certain to be executed, maybe not. Im no expert on the UK legal system, let alone the russian one. But the image of the troops of a civilsed state shooting unconcious hostiles in cold blood isnt pleasant. Terrorists or no, they were human and had the right to a trial.
