Will the woman-martyr receive 72 buff guys wearing thongs in Paradise? Inquiring minds want to know...

Actually, it doesn't matter to me. Chechnya and Russia are an entirely domestic issue and doesn't concern Americans.

I bet everyone here would be mad if the Spaniards or the Russians interfered during the War of Independence.

Reread your history.... Our War of Independence involved a number of various players jockeying for position (as all wars do!).

It would eventually matter if Chechnya replaced Afghanistan as The Terrorist Base. Read up on what these "freedom fighters" did with their independence.

It should matter to you because it will soon involve you. The Chechyn rebals are part of the bin Laden organization. They are the ones leading the fight along with the Saudi's in Afghanistan. They are the ones who have been part of groups like the 7th Muslim Brigade in Bosnia beheading Serbs. They are the ones who have joined with the UCK, KLA, NLA and the ALA in Kosovo and Macedonia. These Chechyns are terrorist for Allah and we should be the one sending them to judgement before any of us have to face God by the hands of a Chechyn. Does 300 dead in Moscow on 9/11/99 mean anything to you?
