Just days after hundreds of people, mostly children, died in a bloody end to a Beslan siege, Putin blasts President Bush for aiding and abetting terrorists.
Putin blamed what he called a "Cold War mentality" on the part of some U.S. officials, but likened their demands that Russia negotiate with the Chechen separatists to the U.S. talking to al Qaeda...
...Putin's comments came a few weeks after the U.S. granted asylum to Ilias Akhmadov, the "foreign minister" of the Chechen separatist movement.
A chinese friend of mine tells me that the US also supports "muslim extremists" in China. These 'freedom fighters' are a minority who would like to have autonomy.

So for now, how about some talk of broccoli, carrots and peas? Recipe's anyone??
