    They aren't Russians. They are Chechens.

    I don't know why people/media automatically blame an entire country/religion/race for the horrible acts of a few individuals. The people who did the bombing.. were the two people that they caught/killed for doing the bombing. Period.

    Just an update (if you guys didn't follow it): the second suspect was caught alive.

    To blame the 'Russians' is very generic too: Russia is a multi-ethnic country. Chechnya was part of the USSR (after WWII) until it collapsed, but it was a mainly Muslim country. Some in Chechnya supported the Russian 'rule' while others resented it. And like Heather said, to blame a whole country for what 2 people did (as far as we know) is ridiculous.

    Did we ever find out why they bombed us though?
    I'm dying to know.

    This may even be just another theory.
    But what if the government framed and hired them to cover up the government bombing them.
    Or they're trying to pick a fight with Russia.

    No one is blaming a whole region or group of people. Isn't it obvious who and what is being blamed?

    You have to blame the two individuals for their actions, of course, but these two didn't get where they were all by themselves. They had help and were influenced by others.

    It is the radical Islamists...very simple.

    The Chechens is so strange that they aim Boston instead of moscow!

    @bbmewcat these guys had lived in the US for a long time, not near Russia. They were acting out of religious fervor, so it didn't matter which place they attacked and I doubt they were working for the Chechens

    It's the families fault too.
    They knew that something was wrong with their kids/relatives.
    But they never told.
    So.

    Please don't be oblivious to the mass media's intentions. They are trying to cause hatred by targeting and dividing races through generalized violent perceptions.
