This should be fun.
I suspect that the Russian Response to the bombings in Moscow…

…will not be as restrained or as nuanced as the American Response to 9/11.
I don’t expect to see soul searching or worries about the niceties. Putin is KGB and they certainly are not going to worry about keeping the US or international press happy, and the Russian Press certainly isn’t going to call for kid gloves.
And lets not pretend it is not Islamic:
While the Chechnyan conflict started off as a political rebellion, it has been an Islamist affair for most of the last several years. The “Black Widows” took part in the infamously botched seizure of a Moscow theater in 2002, when Russian authorities gassed the hostages and terrorists in an attempt to disable them, but wound up killing many of them instead.
This will not be pretty. Nor should we expect it to be.
A very imporant post at Instapundit yesterday…

…on what to do to fight big government if you live in an uncompetitive district. My two favorites:
“Campaign against your local Congress critter regardless. Donate to his opponents. Even if he wins in spite of your efforts the strength of the opposition may worry him and affect his votes. And you might beat him. Who expected us to win Kennedy’s seat (sic) in Mass.?”
I like that suggestion a lot, it was lonely holding that McCain/Palin sign but it made people know someone else was there.
Another reader emails: “I live within 100 miles of a Dem congressman’s district in my state. He voted against the bill. BUT…before the vote I called his office and informed them I will contribute to his opponent if the Democrats pass this. AND I told them I will drive the 1 1/2 hours to help his opponent knock on doors, stuff envelopes, answer phones, get out the vote….whatever it takes to defeat him. As a clincher, I told them I am unemployed thanks to his party’s policies. I’ll have plenty of time to devote to his opponent.”
…if I had any more to add I would suggest some publicity perhaps hiring a fellow with a fedora to cover your candidate for a week.
