The Russians were attacked and refuse to reward the aggressors with talks and discussions. The US thinks this is wrong.

Quote:
Russia rounded angrily on America yesterday making it clear it was in no mood to be lectured on democracy or fighting terrorism after the Beslan school massacre.

The comments, made by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, were unusually strong and were a direct riposte to remarks made earlier this week by US Secretary of State Colin Powell.

Mr Powell had expressed Washington's unease about sweeping new anti-terror reforms which have been proposed by President Vladimir Putin that would concentrate even more power in the Russian leader's hands.
The US is not attacked and invades a country. Does anyone else spot the double standard?
