    :omg: Evidently, the Russians are going to bury the killed Chechen hostage takers in pigskin! Muslim jihad rebels believe they will ascend immediately to heaven as a result of their attacks. Howevr, being buried in a pigskin is supposed to prevent that. Obviously these guys are serious about sending a message [^] to terrorists. Cheers, Tom Archer Author - Inside C#, Visual C++.NET Bible

    IIRC a US general did the same on the Phillipines. Just once. No more muslim attacks under his reign Maybe a Urban Legend, though.

      :omg: I'm not sure how I feel about this. On one hand it will certainly both enrage the existing fanatics and hurt a fundamental part of their recruiting drive. On the other hand the Russians are allowing this to be a war of ideology and religion, and not of criminal behavior. If we allow the Islamic fundamentalists to turn this into a war of ideology, it will lead to total disaster. The aim of the free world should be to continually paint these lunatics as criminals outside of even their own societies. Attacking them with religion is a mistake. David

This won't stop terrorists, this will just enrage them further, banishing even the slightest glimmer of rationality from their minds. The next attack will have a big fat label saying "This is for our fallen comrades who you degraded when at their weakest." On a lighter friday note: If you bury a C++ coder with a copy of Learn Visual Basic in 21 Days will he still go to heaven?

                If I had to actually think before speaking it would be easier to take a vow of silence :). Thinking is kinda like flow-charting - its easier to do after than before.

                            It is already a war over ideology and religion. We just can't admit it.

                              I believe that the Russians did right. They have to explore every single way to prevent this from happening again. If this prevents another attack, nothing like it.

To be given a book which says you will take 21 days to learn VB is more of a sin than 21 minutes. Not that I think any C++ coder can learn VB in 21 days even. VB is a very subtle language which requires a lifetime of dedication and thought. This is why C++ coders don't get it, they can't handle it....
