Wonder how long before the excreable Ted Rall will attack the Russian protesters as "whores" for "whining" about dead children. Maybe he'll pen the last frame as the children claiming they are happier dead than living with their anti-Islamic oppresser parents.

I mean, if its a good enough meme for 9/11 families who support going after Islamist Freedom Fighters, it's got to be good enough for Russians who should know better than try and keep Chechnya from being an independent Islamo-fascist haven.
