According to such anonymous “logic”, the American government is to blame for 911. A step or so away from blaming the Jews for the Holocaust against them”

As the biggest crank on the internet speaks, the Great Averko.

Hardly. He’s the Head of State, and responsible for the actions of the Russian authorities. Putin is great at glib quips and making noise; but his record on Beslan, Kursk and Dubrovka show that when the chips are down, Putin is found wanting.

The mothers are obviously grieving and may be thinking irrationally in the charges that they are leveling against the Russian government, but imagine the US government suing a group of 9/11 survivors for extremism for behaving badly.
