Peter Brandt was a cool guy
Seriously, I admire him. He had the guts to go into this bandit country and fight in a combat. He didn't bother with any of this "peace with the terrorists" BS, he plainly said - all they want is to sell their drugs, no peace concerns them.
As for the village massacre - it was no peaceful village, it was TERRORIST CAMP, where they kept their families as well (hiding behind women and children is not uncommon for them - I live in Russia, and I hope the word Beslan has some meaning to you.
Fight terror with terror, period. "peace talks" is just the liberal BS.
by their actions these individuals place themselves outside law, so no law should be applied to them.
And as for the Lobo's question, Why does a peasant need a gun?, isn't the answer "to be able to sell drugs"??
