Beyond The News -- A Daily Commentary From Salem Communications September 13, 2004
Russia's 9/11 --David Aikman Russia has just experienced the equivalent of 9/11: two airliners blown out of the sky, a suicide subway bombing and then the ultimate horror of the deliberate murder of hundreds children in the No. 1 school in Beslan. The heart of every American should weep with the Russian mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, who lost their dearest. Putin has been rightly criticized for a heavy-handed policy in Chechnya, where separatist rebels have been fighting for nearly a decade. He has also suppressed opposition in the national media. But this is the time for the United States to reach out to Russia, not to criticize it amid its sorrows. Russia is still a major player on the world scene. Its greatest enemy, the terrorist side of radical Islam, is our worst enemy too. Let's join hands with the Russians in their grief. They won't forget us. David Aikman is a veteran journalist and the chairman of Gegrapha. (http://www.gegrapha.org/) David Aikman is the author of A Man of Faith: The Spiritual Journey of George W. Bush.
