While I know that Russia is not a saint, no criticism of the terrorists cause was printed, just the acts they led to.

I'd be very suprised if this leads to any European change of stance. Europe is too occupied with its imaginary existance as the concience of the world and to try to act as an authority on all subjects.

Just my .02
