ïìPutin Angered By Critics On Siege: West Fails to Grasp Situation, He Says,î by Susan B. Glasser, Washington Post, 8 September, p. A1.
Putin to a bunch of Western academics and journalists Monday night:
Why donít you meet Osama bin Laden, invite him to Brussels or to the White House, engage in talks, ask him what he wants so he leaves you in peace? You find it possible to set some limits in your dealings with these bastards, so why should we talk to people who are child killers?
That was Putinís response to calls from Western critics that he seek to negotiate with Chechen separatists.
Nice comeback.
