the only important issue is that the Beslan attacks were linked to the Chechnya conflict and are completey unrelated to the Iraq invasion and what stance Russia has taken with regard to Iraq.
Which is why it is strange that Bush links it to the war on Al-Qaida .
Sufism is widely condemned by the Wahabbis so why would they be linked ?
The Chechens declared the creation of a Secular state , so where is the fundamentalist empire ?
It makes as much sense as members of the ex-governmnet in Spain still insisting that ETA is linked to Al-Qaida .
Therefore ...what a muppet...and thats without even going into his lines about Pakistan in that speech .
