Oh and I'm not condoning the terrorists that did this dastardly act. Get THEM. But if the Russians gave the Chechens their independence, wouldn't things be different?

[RussianConservative]

Tell that to Israelies, Indians, Ethiopians (oops they did to Eritria..who then exterminate all Christians really quick), Serbs, and other...also, US need to give freedom to Peurto Ricans and soon all SW US and Hawaii.

There are very few Chechens left. What is left is pretty much as warped as the Palestinians. They are no longer reasonable. Most of them have been so brainwashed by the Islamists that there is not much hope for a peaceful settlement. The Islamists have to be wiped out, totally and completely.

We'll probably help the Russians, but sooner or later they are going to have to learn to trust us. We can't go into battle with them unless we can trust them at our backs. That issue is going to have to be resolved pretty soon. When that happens there will be no place for these nutcases to hide.

They GOT their Independence for the most part under Dudayev (sp?) but then they had to go back and tweak the bears nose again, kinda like Arafat getting offered 90+% of what the Pali's wanted at Oslo and then rejecting it and continuing to blow up people...

[ZULU]

The Egyptian and Saudis have THEIR independence. Are things any different for US? WOuld YOU want an Islamic fundamentalist state sitting on OUR borders??

Let Putin nuke them. Wipe out them, their women, their children and their entire name. Send them all to Allah.
