An interesting point of view on the twin downings of Russian aircraft and the official response to the same.Responding to a terrorist attack::I'm struck by the Russian government's reluctance to admit what everyone is thinking - that terrorists are probably behind yesterday's airliner crashes.
Nearly a day after the crashes, however, their response is leading to headlines like Officials: No Sign of Terror in Russian Crashes.
Most news stories have noted that the timing of these crashes, just days before an election in Chechnya resembles the timing of the 3/11 terrorist attacks in Spain. You would think that the Russian government would have learned a lesson from the response of Spanish voters. As many observers noted, the Aznar government was hurt as much by its disingenuous reaction (steadfastly insisting that Basque separatists were responsible) as by the bombings themselves.
