The annihilation of moderate rebels in the past led to the rise of fundamentalism. Furthermore, given the international support (monetary and physical) given to the Chechens makes this an international conflict. If Arab terrorists strike Russian schools over the war in Chechnya, how is that not international terrorism? The cause of the conflict may be national, but the conflict itself is growing more international by the day.
