        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: 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

                  :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

                  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....

Yup. A loophole like "If you strap bombs to your chest and kill the enemy you can be buried in mohair jackets with porcupine quills and you will still go to heaven and enter into the Sacred Harem Of a Thousand Naked Virgins all at your service."

My brother graduated from a theology college, but he could learn a lot from you They don't call me Paul* for nothing you know... :rolleyes: My sister also went through theology college and she despairs at my non-PC religious jokes. Says I am damned for eternity, but she still loves me. Go figure :-D * Actually people just automatically assume that because my name is Paul that I am religiously, specifically Christianity, bent. For Peter's sake I am not a priest, pastor, canon or even a church goer so stop sending me religious questions! (not you Nemanja, but I have had emails like that in the past.)

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....
