We don't get a lot of news in the US about Chechnya. I do feel however on what I have read that the group may have legit reason, but violence leads to hardship. It would be better for them to try alternative means to make a point, and then maybe the issues can be resolved without further bloodshed.
As an American, I am a firm believer in the right to self governance...But I have to tell you...The slaughter of those school children in Beslan has soured me for a generation in Chechnya. As far as I'm concerned... you should be good Russian citizens until the last murdered child would have otherwise died of natural causes.
Terrorism must NEVER be an effective means of change.
I think that a lot of the time they're terrorists. I think that if the Chechens want their own country there are better ways about it than in kidnapping and killing civilians a la Beslan. India was freed with barely a shot fired.
