Actually the theatre seige in terms of taking out terrorist was a success. I read an article by an anti-terrorist officer that the Russian method though resulting in loss of non-combatant life was a success as considered by western agencies.
It would be interesting to how it would have progressed had it happened here in the west. I bet we'd have offered them tea and biscuits if they came out peacefully a free lottery ticket and a flight out of here plus a group shag with Vanessa Redgrave.
