My view on situations where a large, regional group of people want their own state and have a valid claim is to give said state as soon as possible. Chechnya, in my opinion, seems to be moving from "we want independence" terrorism to "we want the Russian state destroyed" terrorism. Russia can stop the "we want independence" terrorism but, the "we want the Russian state destroyed" is significantly harder to stop.
