The terrorist attack in Russia shows that curtailing the rights of the people does not prevent terrorism. Since 9/11 Russia has been attacked several times by terrorists. It was only Nov. last year that a train was bombed between St. Petersburg and Moscow. What do you think the Russian government do after each attack? It takes away more democratic rights of the people for sure. You don't think they torture suspects to try to get information? Court order before wire-tapping? You got to be kidding. All these things and more that we argue about in this country are in full use in Russia. And in China too, I may add. But obviously it is not keeping the Russian people any safer. This is something we have to remember when the next time the government asks us to give up rights in order, as it says, to protect us from evil.
