When Abraham Lincoln was dealing with true rebels (not terrorists who murder children), he said that sometimes it is necessary to cut off an arm to save the body.

Don't be surprised if Putin now issues the following orders: Russian forces massively invade Chechnya to provide a corridor of safe exit for anyone loyal to Russia. After a specified period of time--days, not weeks--anyone remaining will be deemed to be an enemy combatant. Russian forces will then withdraw, and Putin will order the complete devastation of Chechnya.

I think Putin won't harm any peacefully Muslim. It's not his style it's not Christian. I hope, the locals everywhere organize militias, protect their schools and property, train their children from high school age and generally make everyone tougher in the war wit Radical Islam. There is a lot of plain folk in Chechnya, who even Muslim, like the Russians and the security they provide. They hate the Wahhabi tallibans who did, well, what tallibans do. The enemy is Wahhbism, Radical Islam. Christians and moderate Muslims together should fight the Wahhabists. In Russia it's happening now.

Don't be so simplistic. As though the terrorists won't declare loyalty with those truly loyal.

These are a minority within Chechnya. Most of the children they help hostage were probably moslem as well.
