LOL! I love it when the Putin people try to use our intervention into Mexico as an example...the problem with that example is we didn't create the conditions in Mexico, then we didn't stay there and brutalize the people, and...well, it would be a waste of time going on.

Putin got his Reichstag fire.

Putin came into office after chechnya's first war. You'll have to blame that one on Yeltsin, who began the first war.

I would not compare region of Chechnya which is in the middle of Russian territory, size of 5,800 square miles and populated by warring clans with Mexico.

A number of Reichstag fires - capturing of hospitals, theaters, exploding apartment buildings, raids on neigbouring provinces, slave trade etc ...

Americans would act much sooner and harsh if they had such problem on their territory. Would you classify 9/11 as Reichstag fire?
