[lbo-talk] Justin Raimondo loves Putin!

Putin, the Patriot 
That's why the neocons hate him – and love Chechen
terrorists  
by Justin Raimondo 
With the recent downing of two planes over Russian
airspace, now believed to be the result of a terrorist
attack, and the horrific Beslan stand-off, in which
women and children were butchered on the world stage
and in living color, a curious double standard is
asserting itself in the West, almost without argument
or even much notice. The response to these attacks by
Western leaders has been almost uniformly to put the
onus of blame, not on the terrorists, but on Vladimir
Putin, who is accused by, among many others,
neo-connish "libertarian" Cathy Young, Reason
magazine's resident New England schoolmarm and
inveterate busybody, of "misusing" the Beslan
incident. Putin has long been demonized by the neocons
as an aspiring Stalin, and now he is being blamed for
provoking and inflaming the Chechen terrorists by
refusing to negotiate with them.
