No, we do not watch CBC. I didn't know any one did. Don't watch Fox much either. If there were indeed huge protests, I am sure you will provide us a few internet news links as it would certainly be a big story (and suprise). Personally, with the millions of Muslims in the world, I would not consider a few thousand showing up in a a couple of moderate countries to be very demonstrative of their support. Many more showed up in support of the murderer Saddam and millions can be counted in for any anti-american protest.

As far as Russia is concerned....the national motto after the Germans slaughtered so many in WW2 was "never again." Those who were outraged at our soldier putting some women's panties over the heads of prisoners are about to see some real payback. If I were a young male chechen...I would start running now..
