However, I must lay some of the blame on the West for abandoning the Chechens to the mercy of the Russians.

They have sought help in the only place they could find it. It was a poisoned source,

Bullsh!t

Strapping explosives to yourself to blow up a theater full of innocent people is wrong. It doesn't matter who you turn to for help. It doesn't matter what the ideology. It's just wrong. There is no need to be sympathetic with the root causes of such brutal insanity.

If the Chechens were not inclined to do such things, they could not be convinced to do so. The Islamabomers found a fertile field in Chechnya, because the people there were of a similar mind-set. Not to defend Stalin, but do you suppose he might have had a reason to go through the trouble and expense of exporting the entire population of Chechnya to Siberia?

These are the Fruits of Islam. They have them there. We have them here.

There is value however, in recognizing mistakes so that they are not repeated.
