what I know about chechnyah is that it is majority muslim, and that the Russians have been occupying and killing them for many years. They are the largest source of Russian terror attacks, including many famous attacks like the theatre hostagetaking that ended in disaster.
I did not have much reason to think that chechens held the US responsible for their occupation. But muslims believe that the US has been oppressing them for many years by supporting the strongman regimes that delivered us oil.
I guess we'll be learning a lot more about chechnyah soon.
