"I have supported the Chechen's attempts at freedom ever since I heard about their plight. I wish them luck in their attempts to regain their long-lost independance."

I guess it is safe to assume you will also support the Mexican seperatists when they start kidnapping US citizens for ransom and blowing up hospitals and theators in their quest for independence of the the American Southwest?

You realize that the only freedom that Chechens are fighting for is the freedom to be murdering bandits. It is not that the Russians are oppressing them anymore than any other people, its just that the Russians won't let them rob and kidnap and murder with impunity.

Oh woe is them, what a terrible plight. /sarcasm>

Read some history on the subject, then come back to me when you get a clue.
