Tell that to Israelies, Indians, Ethiopians (oops they did to Eritria..who then exterminate all Christians really quick), Serbs, and other...also, US need to give freedom to Peurto Ricans and soon all SW US and Hawaii.

Uh....RC, Puerto Rico HAS it's freedom. It asked that we stop using an part of their island for a bombing range and we did. Now they are begging us to come back because they didn't realize that it would mean we had no need for a base without a bombing range. They thought we would just continue to pump American dollars into their ecomomy.

As to Hawaii and the South West, they all petitioned the US to become states so I seriously doubt they want "freedom from the US". It was a long hard battle to become states.

Other than that, I agree with your points about Chechnya and future US/Russia alliances.
