    I'm wondering at what point people start clueing in to the fact that terrorism is a pretty ineffective way to get the policy changes you want implemented...

    I hear you Triumvere. Still, Chechnya has to be the most miserable place on the planet, after Wales at least. The Russians have dumped on them for a long while from a high height - nothing better to swell fundie recruitment potential for Islamic terrorism.

    Madverts: you are completely correct regarding the terrible conditions Russia has created in Chechnya; however, the "irony" (if that is the right word) is that autocratic Russia is probably one of the last places that terrorism is going to achieve anything beyond a petty sort of revenge. The Kremlin is just going to crack down harder with the iron fist, and the people of Chechnya will continue to suffer disproportionately.

    Triumvere said: anything beyond a petty sort of revenge

    Well the Russians have held Chechnya against the will of the Chechnyan people for hundreds of years now. Even when all the other former Soviet bloc countries got independence for nothing, Chechyans had to fight. Even though they won independence Russia came and took it away again. What else is left but revenge? And if these women lost their children to Russian bombs dropped out of the sky, I think the revenge is being laid on the wrong people, but I would not call it petty.

    What else is left but revenge?... I would not call it petty.

    Oh, but it is petty, and of the cheapest sort no matter what angle you view it from... even if we determine revenge against the Russian populace is just (a view to which I in no way subscribe) then how does the killing of a few dozen even begin to make up for centuries of slaughter? Especially when it means the inevitable deaths of countless Chechens when the reprisal comes.
