Prior to Sept. 11, I would have sided with the Chechan's. I used to get upset when Israeli soldiers would blast away a Palestinian rock thrower.
Prior to Sept 11. Now I am rooting for the Russian Bear.
I'm also backing the Russian bear. Paw those Chechnyans real good! Chechnya is on the map for the world wide Muslim Jihad. Bin Laden's network operates there.
