I agree completely re. the transparent hypocrisy of preaching love and tolerance and then pulling off a coup like this. However, surely Vladimir Putin bears some of the moral responsibility as well? His relentlessly hardline, intolerant approach to the issue of Chechen independence - similar to the attitude of successive British governments towards the IRA throughout the post-War era - has has created a climate where an incident of this sort was almost inevitable, and someone in his position should bloody well have seen it coming a mile off if you ask me.

If he had any moral fibre at all, he'd stand down over this. However, he quite clearly doesn't, otherwise he wouldn't be in the position he's in in the first place. Watching his half-assed, insincere apology to the Russian people made me feel almost as angry as footage of the seige itself, to be honest.
