I really don't know about the politics that arised from the USSR area so I can't comment, but Bush says he wants to rid the world of terrorism, or at least make it seen that it's not acceptable, so why hasn't he been gun-ho, publically, about going after everyone slightly connected to the 335 victims, mostly children, killed?

ummmm, just because it doesn't hit the newspapers does not mean help is not offered.
You may have read in your history books (presuming you actually went to school, and that your history books are not all slanted against the US) that the US and USSR were involved in this thing we used to call the Cold War.
Even so, when the Russians would lose a submarine at the bottom of the ocean, we would offer to help them retrieve it. "No thanks" was always the response.
While the Cold War has ended, it is still a pretty safe bet that Russia does not want US troops within their borders, fighting the Chechens for them. . . . besides, if we did the rest of the world would just call us imperialists anyway.
We can do no right.
