Never let it be said that Islamic terrorists are rational beings…Earlier this month, 4 Russian diplomats in Iraq were kidnapped and executed. Another Russian diplomat was killed separately. Russia has been a solid opponent of the US led war in Iraq and was even one of Saddam’s principle backers up until the moment the invasion commenced.

Regardless of this the Islamic terrorists that have made Iraq one of the most dangerous places on the face of the Earth, see no distinction between American, Russian or even Muslim, anyone opposed to their violent jihad is an enemy and subject to extermination, as is evident in both word and deed.

For his part, the authoritarian Putin has ordered his intelligence forces to hunt down and eliminate the killers of these diplomats. While Putin was releasing the dogs in Iraq to hunt down elusive killers, the Russian Rubber-Stamp Parliament made certain to lay blame for the deaths on the Americans, after all, all of Russia’s problems are American in origin, aren’t they?

Unfortunately, Putin and his Kremlin cronies have once again missed the bigger picture and continue to ignore the threat of Islamic fascist terrorists, whose violent rampages are not unknown in mother Russia. Regardless of this fact, Russia continues to support tacitly or implicitly rogue Islamic regimes like the Mullahs of Tehran, whose nuclear ambitions will pose as great a threat for Russia in the long term, as they will for the West.
