It's amazing how Putin, especially, suddenly cared alot about religious feelings in the aftermath of that sad case. It was quite weird to hear him damn Denmarks lacking respect to religious minorities while he's responsible to genocide towards moslems in Chechnya, just because he want to expand his russian empire, that sick little psychopath . And let me tell you the real cause why Putin damned Denmark in so big words while that stupid cartoon-crisis was at its highest: Earlier independent political groups in Denmark invited the political leader of the Chechnyan rebellion towards the russian aggression, and the danish government didn't interfere (because our constitution simply do not allow to arrest people who gather, just because their political opinion is against the people in power. Maybe Putin don't understand why that principle is good, but that's because Putin don't really believe in democracy, when all comes to all). And the russian government damned the danish government because it didn't arrest the chechnyan rebel leader at a conference for liberation of Chechnya, which took place in Copenhagen a few years ago. Then Putin told all russian television (which he apparantly manage to control, just like another Berlusconi) to demonize Denmark, and thereby he introduced a diplomatic crisis with Denmark, already long time before the cartoons. That was after 9/11, so that was the time when Putin already knew the symbolic value of calling the people he was turning his warmongering agression towards "terrorists" - a fine, little term that he tought from Bush. So according to Putin, we were housing "terrorists" at that conference - just forget why it's actually reasonable to make a dialogue about the russian agression towards Chechnya... according to Putin. I'm against our government. It's an illegal government, cuz they are participating in an illegal war. They are war criminals. But I just wanna let remind you that Putin is not less rotten because he criticized the danish government in the cartoon-case. That was just another opportunity to him, simply a welcomed episode which he managed to use in his own megalomanic plan of taking back russian control with all the countries/provinces, with a predominant islamic culture, which were heading for independence after the breakdown of the Soviet Union. Putin looked good in the russian medias (that he control), as he had the opportunity to damn a small countrys disrespect to moslems. I guess that way of making PR is necessary, if you're the head of a great power that is leading a genocide against a moslem people in a land that you wanna conquer... A little psychopath with great power = A dangerous psychopath.
freedom of speech has boundaries and people whoever and wherrever they are should take this into mind!! Double standards suck!
It's always easy to sacrifice a small country as a move in your own strategic plan, if you're a greater power. The people of Lebanon has becomed victims of a struggle between USA and Iran. The lebanese government has absolutely no control with Hizbollah, and Israel know this. Teheran says: "ok, we don't wanna prevent our supports from making a move". Washington yell: "See, Teheran indirectly make agressions towards Israel, with Hizbollah as their tool". But nobody ask whom tool Israel is... Then Israel go bomb Beirut, despite Hizbollah is completely independent from the official policy of the lebanese government. Bush ask Hizbollah to stop the terror, but he don't ask Israel to stop the agression, their terrorism towards a sovereign state - Lebanon. By their passivity Washington take part in the conflict on the Israelian side, and by their passivity Teheran take part in the conflict on Hizbollahs side. Well, actually none of them are that passive, when all comes to all. USA deliver weapons to Israel, while Iran deliver weapons to Hizbollah. But Washingtons lie contains in their manipulative rhetorics making Hizbollahs interests equal to the interests of lebanese diplomacy. Teheran has connections with Hizbollah - not with Lebanon (that has no control with Hizbollah, which is a fact Israel is aware of). But whom are the victims of this conflict between USA and Iran?.. Not USA, not Iran, but the lebanese people. It's always safer to wage the war on neutral ground - that's one thing that each side can agree on! "Let's find a small country which we let be our battleground"... Excactly like during the Cold War... love and understanding, -wolf
