There's plenty that's stupid and offensive in this, but connoisseurs will appreciate this bit about the 2004 Beslan school massacre, which Peters offers as a preferable model:
Note that, when the Russian military finally stormed the school, they were accompanied by armed residents of the village, desperate to save their children. In typical ham-handed Russian fashion, the former Soviets managed to kill almost as many people as they saved — but the point is they fought back.Much better than last Friday's result, which was casualty-free as well as successsful, but without honor.
Sometimes I wonder if Walsh is just one of Col. Ralph Peters' secret identities.
