Moscow subway blast: is "terrorism" justified?

If the US military gets to slaughter millions of innocent people in a tyrannical fashion, are Chechens justified in killing a few dozen (or even a few hundred) to win liberation and freedom? What about the US revolutionary war or civil war? Didn't we do just that?

The never-completed "string train" project in Russia

2
To continue the transportation theme for today, as we had the new trains, now something that was planned to be built 30 years ago, back in 1970s. It was called the “super string transportation system” and was claimed to come to replace the existing rail road technologies. The steel cords under great tension had to be stretched on the polls across all the country to support the high speed (up to 500 km/h - 300 mph) trains movement.

100 year old mystery solved- it was a comet

It has been a debate for more than 100 years: what caused the Tunguska explosion in 1908, an event which devastated 830 square miles of Siberian forests? Perhaps it is not surprising that the mystery has stood for more than a century as it took the exhaust plumes of space shuttles (decidedly modern objects) to discover the answer.

U.S.-Poland deal will install missiles 115 miles from Russia

Looks like Russias attack must have scared Poland enough to agree to host American missiles. The timing is interesting. Was this a necessary security measure or was there a better way to deal with this? ..an agreement that prompted an infuriated Russia to warn of a possible attack against the former Soviet satellite. The deal to install 10 U.S. interceptor missiles just 115 miles from Russia's westernmost frontier also has strained relations between Moscow and the West, ties that already troubled by Russia's invasion of its former Soviet neighbor, U.S. ally Georgia, earlier this month."
