Nuclear weapons should not be used against terrorists
A series of noteworthy remarks have been made by Russia's Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov in the course of his address at the Center for Defense Information in the American capital.
Thus, replying to a question about the expediency of using nuclear weapons in the struggle against terrorism, Ivanov said: "Honestly speaking, traditional weapons are quite enough against terrorists." The use of nuclear weapons against terrorists, according to the minister, may drastically lower the threshold of their employment. "We can let the genie out of the bottle," Ivanov added.
So tell me, what is more disturbing, that anyone would even think of using nukes, even the Russians, against terrorists; or that the Dispassionate Lib reads Pravda. Hey, If google gets Pravda, I get Pravda. I get the Salt Lake City Tribune on this thing too, doen't make me a mormon, maybe just a moron. :-)
It is a liberal rag from a liberal country after all. Don't believe me, read this:
Putin pursues liberal policy
Participants in the international conference, A Liberal Agenda For the New Century: A Global Perspective, that opened in Moscow on Friday stated Mr. Putin's commitment to the liberal development model.
I Don't see the folks at The American Enterprise Institute losing any sleep over this.
