[Destro]

All legitimate government is based on the consent of the governed and the Chechen people have never voluntarily given their consent to Russian rule. I support the right of the majority of the population in any region to secede if that is their desire.

Tell it to the Confederacy. Tell it to the descendants of Mexico living in the USA.

That is not the basis for independence as envisioned by our founding fathers. The right to have a nationalistic state is not a reason. What rights were the Chechens denied before their gangster warlord Dudayev fooled the Chechen people into their war? You can't think of one can you?

I suggest you go buy the DVD edition of RED DAWN and live your liberation masturbation fanatsies while watching a young Patrick Swayze.

I always know when I am debating someone who knows their arguments are weak; they resort to insults and totally evade responding to the assertion that the Russian troops are every bit as deserving of the label terrorists as any Chechen Rebel.
