                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Igor, <BR> <BR>Your story about the prison however pleasing to you only shows how ill prepared and untrained the common Russian conscript is.  If in fact the Russian military is trying to find the militants, why do such gruesome conditions exist?  This story is just another example of how far behind the Russian military is compared to its Western counterparts and the 21st century. <BR> <BR>Why it continues to act in such a manner and why people like Igor relish in the barbarity of it should be a question for all to ponder. <BR> <BR>Militants should be punished but to inflict such treatment on an entire population is beyond all comprehension.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[" I don&#039;t recall Russians saying war was based on elections" Well if you are refering to Yetzin or Putnin saying that of course not. "western propaganda". Well this idea stems from polling data that shows thw war is popular with the Russian people and if it went bad or victory is not claimed before the elections it becomes a political issue (if not allready).  Personally I am not on the Chechens side but it think this will end up lke Chechen war part 1 with Chechens still in the field ready to fight while Russians leave claiming victory.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[URN, <BR>     I will be much obliged to fulfill this flattering appointment into the Coalition. My collaboration with Dimitri will manifest the FSB into an effective and efficient vehicle for the Coalition.  I appreciate the nomination and await further instruction on matters which are of utmost concern.  In saying this, I must also say farewell for the evening.  I must kick some German ass as I lead my troops against the Wehrmacht in East Front II (a war/strategy video game).]]></content:encoded>
