Attackers seize Russian school

Again, the situation in Chechnya can not be won by military power, no matter how much effort is put into it. This is because of the simple fact that most Chechens aren't involved in this war at all anymore, except as civilians caought in the crossfire. Most of the terrorists are imported fanatics from abroad, who have drafted desperate young Chechens with nothing else to do. Al Quaeda had no influence in Chechnya before the war, and as the russians wreak havoc on the civilians, the terrorists will find more and more volunteers for revenge actions.

And as I said before, the simple solution is to restore law and order. This, however, requires that the russian army stops playing its own game down there and instead start to do what they are supposed to do. But there is little indication that this will happen.

No I say homicide bombing because that's what it is. Suicide implies only one person dies.

"Raw firepower" is a pretty meaningless way to compare the two. F.e., carpet bombing is so... Gulf War. Now it's all about dropping 500 lb. bombs in a 1 meter square box on the map.

Which only works if you know on which square meter box you should drop those two bombs. IF you don't know, then those bombs are no better than any others. Given the terrain, knowing where to hit is near to impossible, You might as well then just end the mountain itself.

No, it doesn't at all.

Agree to send in food, but add pork to it!

No don't agree to send in food, let the only food they smell be pork.

Make a show of dipping your bullets in pig's blood.

In the latest Tom Clancy book, a guy puts a football in a shot up terrorists hands.

Let's him know its made of pigskin, then watches him die.

Perfect.

ACK!

No- suicide implies the method of bombings- all bombings kill people, hence a car bomb or a suitcase bomb is as much a "homicide bomb" as anything else.

Uh, yeah, it does. One person can't commit mass suicide.

ACK!

No-suicide implies that the person setting the bomb off is killing him- or herself.

ACK!

Wasn't homicide bombing a thing represented by the glorious Fox News though?

What about this: Serial killer exploder?

You can't suicide serial kill.

My great grand father was killed by Nazis outside of his village in Poland. That was not an act of genocide, because the entire people under attack were not there?

Would you prefer "Attempted genocide bombing"?

The point remains - its the victims that matter - who gives a f**k about the inclinations of the perpetrators, which the term "suicide bombings" implicitly focuses on.

They can't. If they do, they'll need to post a platoon of soldiers at every school in Russia.

These people are prepared to die, and they're more than prepared to take lots of innocent children with them. You think that a reckless storming of the school will discourage them from trying the same trick again? No it won't. It will be a glorious end for them.
