I should have known by the sympathetic reporting of the Chechens that something was wrong there. I just never gave it much thought. Until now.

[Pericles]

The Chechens as well as other Muslims never wanted this war. It was started by an opportunist war lord (Dudayev was killed in the first year of the first war when he made a cell phone call and the Russians dropped a cruise missile on him) who used Islamists to push his own personal criminal agenda (control of oil route). The mistake dead Dudayev made was soon realized by his people when they found out that instead of being used by the Islamists the Islamists were using them. That is when Chechnya turned into hell on earth when the Russians had pulled back and the non-fundamentalist Muslims lost control to the Osama Bin Ladin backed Wahabists. Chechnya can only return to peace when these militants are hunted down all killed and the Russian flag waves on over their bleached bones.
