"I hate to break it to you, but you appear not to understand what Islamic terrorists are doing."
"Islamic terror serves a strategic purpose, which is to create a general war between Islam and "infidels."

No kidding...sheesh..... You think we don't know that?

That doesn't have anything to do with your excusing Chechen terrorism because Russia fought dirty in their war against Chechnya though.

You say; "Chechen terrorists are not the same animal as your run-of-the-mill salamikaze. They think they have a legitimate excuse for indiscriminately killing Russians"

Change "Russian" to "American" or "Israeli" or "Infidel" and you have described every Muslim terrorist on the planet. You say they are different, but the truth is, that difference exists only in your mind.

You say; "For the Chechens, the Russians are about as close to an "ancestral enemy" as you're likely to find."

So what? Does that somehow make the Chechens noble? What do you propose, giving them their own country so they will have a safe place from which to wage jihad against the west?

They have been granted autonomy once before and they proceeded to use it as a base from which to carry out kidnappings and attacks and raids on neighboring Osetta and Dagestan.

You seem to think that Russia is to blame for Chechen terrorism. You remind me of liberal idiots who think the US is to blame for terror attacks against us.

Yes, I think you don't know that. If you did, you would probably not be recommending stupid things.

I think you cannot address Chechen terrorism without understanding its roots. That is not to condone it -- it is to give one a better grasp on the problem.

You remind me of liberal idiots who think the US is to blame for terror attacks against us.

Hm. I have a far less charitable opinion of your reasoning ability.
