Russians Will Lose as they Continue to Seek Compromise

Attack number two hit Russia on Wednesday as the Chechnya Islamic terrorists killed a dozen people in southern Russia.  At this moment Russian leaders should be emboldened by their enemy and declare a state of war against Islamic Totalitarianism. The Chechen civilians, who seek to create an "Islamic state spanning all the Muslim republics of Russia's north Caucasus", are emboldened as Russian officials take a passive approach toward the ruthless attacks against its countrymen. Russian officials concede that "widespread poverty, corruption and human rights abuses by security forces in the region create a rich soil for extremists" (WSJ-April 1, 2010).  By minimizing the attacks through excuses, Russia continues to legitimize these acts of war. Even worse, Russian leaders turn the blame against themselves, as if they are deserving of these attacks because they failed in their "humane" acts. Do they not realize that this religious movement seeks to encompass the world with an ideology of submission to Allah...which is ultimately the selfless submission of ones mind to authority. While Russia is free to suffer its own fate, let us ensure that the United States does not respond in a similar fashion. Let us be reminded that Islamic states as a whole seek to spread their selfless ideology and will not stop until a.) they are convinced their goal is impossible to attain or b.) they succeed.
