WHAT'S WORSE...

(h/t Matt Corley at Think Progress)

the evil done by a repressive regime or the evil done by terrorists? I would need to know much more about each to make a choice but if we change "terrorists" to 'Islamic terrorists," Slots Bennett doesn't have much of a problem:
BENNETT: Yeah, between, we were talking earlier, between a repressive regime and an Islamist terrorist, I guess you’ve got to side with the repressive regime.

KRISTOL: Yeah, but yeah…

BENNETT: Not easily.

It's clear that the Russians have been brutal in Chechnya (even Kristol admits that), so perhaps it would be better to denounce both the regime and the terrorists. Of course, this choice by Bennett is consistent with his inordinate fear of Islamic terrorists.
