Retaliation for a arms deal gone bad? I'm sick of people thinking that they only attack for religious rite. There people you call "terrorists" are just criminals. Nothing more, nor nothing less.

I already voiced my opinion that I consider both of those attacks, just like the one in Moscow to be real terrorist attacks. I have not seen any proof to lead me to think otherwise.
Then you haven't looked. Typical. The implications are probably too upsetting.
Here's a hint: WTC 7 and the Pentagon.
I'VE looked. I've looked deeply. 9-11 was neither an "inside job", nor is it the topic of this thread.
Good lord, it looks like fantasies are as prevalent as false flag attacks!

Terror is indiscriminate attack against civilians who not necessarily associated with any armed faction, government, or military.

Unfortunately when it comes to criminals being in other countries or in control of other countries, collateral damage is unavoidable. We can all turn a blind eye and pretend live in peceful lala land where there are no wars, or we be realistic and approach it pragmatically.

Should the allies not have bombed Berlin in WW2 by your reasoning?

I was in Grozny less than a month ago. There is no way you can all jump to the conclusion all Chechnyans are terrorists. I was invited into the home of a family who had little to nothing and given hot food and great hospitality. To say "flatten Chechnya" is ignorant and disgusting. I live in Moscow, and am obviously concerned about what is happening, and immediate action is needed. But you can't jump to such radical conclusions. You sound no better than Nazi Germany. Kill all the Jews!
Some of you people are gross.
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. 41And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 43Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
2And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 10Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Terror is an indiscriminate attack against civilians who are not necessarily associated with any armed faction, govt or military. Therefore ALL WAR IS TERRORISM.

Only the Islamic fundamentalist can commit this kind of crime. Everybody seems to have already kind of numbed down on attack by the Islamic religion. I think Islam should be banned from the world. This is what Mohamad had taught you to do if you become a Moslem.
He killed more people after dead than while alive. No condemnation can be heard for the killing from any Moslems either. Despicable Conspirators !!!!!

Some of you people absolutely make me sick. Less then 24 hours from the explosion and we are already speculating how the Russian Government is killing it's people. Admittedly, there is a high probability of this (it wouldn't be the first time), but unlike Ryazan there is absolutely no proof, eyewitness reports, or news stories with gaping holes as of yet.
