Funny how all the Russia-haters have turned to Islam-haters ... pre-9/11 GW and the reactionary right were very quick to defend the Chechnians as freedom fighters just because they were fighting the Russians.
The fuckwads who are holding those people hostage are at fault in this situation. Nothing justifies what they are doing, and in fact it probably hurts their cause.
The bigger picture - beyond the hostage situation - is a lot more muddled. Being neither Russian nor Chechnian, and not knowing a hell of a lot of the history between them, I don't fucking know.
Am I allowed to say that on GFY?
