About the same amount as Imus & 9-11 have to do with Russian police
controlling a demonstration which was my point.

It wasn't. In many ways it was the reverse. I am of an odd breed which
believes people are people & that 30 dead is 30 dead no matter whether
if the blood is sluiced down in a street in Baghdad or a dorm in Virginia
Tech.

Obviously wrt the world media 30 dead in Virginia must be worth about 3000
Iraqi dead but that's their error not mine.

About the same as Imus & 9-11 have to do with Russian police actions in St Petes.
