This sucks really. The whole situation sucks.
But Russia is no better, and they are just as guilty. How long did they think the Chechnians were going to live under the Russian boot? They have a 70% unemployment rate. Their women are repeatedly raped by the Russian army. The Russians have killed many times more innocent Chechenian men, women and children -- but they are not the terrorists. No ofcourse not. These people can't even choose their own local leaders -- some great Democracy in Russia, you know, as long as you are not one of "them".
I am in now way saying that what happened in that school is right. But Russia has no right to cry about this, and its not right for only the Chechnians to be called terrorists in this case. The Russians have been terrorising them for years. They are not playing the slightest bit dirtier than the Russians themselves.
