To: Luis GonzalezLuis Gonzalez isn't pro-Chechnya, he's anti-tyranny.
I have personally over the years seen a lot of pro-chechens ousted here. Keep it up. Chechen supporters don't last long here.

As we all are.
This tragedy is being used as an excuse to destroy freedom within Russia.
The Russian government started this war, they started the atrocities, and they probably had something to do with the deaths at that school.
Thanks.
MarMemma claims anyone who criticizes the actions of the Russian government under Putin is a "Russian hater", meanwhile, what's truly crystal clear is that MarMema is a Chechen hater.
I'll see your argument half-way.
Whenever an extrodinary claim of a "government conspiracy" arises, I get suspicious. Without serious evidence, it looks kooky and Art-Bellish.(Although Art Bell is actually entertaining!)
But I'd buy the Putin power grab line easily. That can be demonstrated. Putin's actions over the last few years give me pause. He likes to punish enemies, again, an old Russian tradition....hehe. In another age he would have made a great party secretary.....
That said, terrorist often play into the hands of their enemies. Just ask Mr. Arafat...hehe.
As for banning people, I'm generally against it.
If people wanna be pro-Chechen, as long as they are sensible and can make a legit argument, why not?
I could even listen to an Al-Quaedaish poster under certain conditions....if they acknowledged that terrorist act were not justified, and wrong, and decided to fight in the realm of ideas, isn't that what it's about?
Granted, it gets hard to defend the indefensible, but as long as no knives are pulled, it's a healthy debate.
just my 2 cents
Luis is definitely anti-Russian. here is a good write up on the chechen situation.
The Russians gave them independence twice and they showed their true colors, sadly, both times.
