I'm intrigued now, having watched this video. Thanks for posting that JC, and Olav for providing that. I knew nothing about this situation -american media cares less about that area unless we send troops there, then maybe a 30 second spot on CNN. I did feel for Chechnya's cause-though i admit I don't know the back-story for the origins of the conflict without studying it a bit more. I could identify with Shamil's ideals...he was right-they are very similar to our own American Revolution... I will have to read further into this.mobiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04921488046987828877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055491912637469469.post-68319957485378652272010-09-02T08:32:52.217-04:002010-09-02T08:32:52.217-04:00Thanks for the mention!!

The Russians sure made a mess and stirred up the hornets nest in Chechnya. I was sympathetic to thier desire from freedom...for about a two years...now...sorry to say...if there was one nation that had to be nuked, I would choose Chechnya. That is saying something as I am of Armenian decent and I would choose it over Azerbaijan by a mile. Russia created this mess, they should just go in and finish the place and the west should keep their mouth shut and be happy they did what needed to be done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
