If the war has been "all about oil", they shouldn't have bothered - gas prices have gone up like 60-70%.

I'm bothered by the media coverage of the Russian kids getting slaughtered. They're spending a lot of time focussing on the failings and/or deceptions of the Russian gov't. Shouldn't the point be how terrible the people are that took all those kids hostage? Shouldn't the Russian public's anger be directed at the terrorists?
