Well, you have to understand that most of the terrorists involved in these incidents didn't walk into it thinking they'd make it out alive anyhow. I mean, when you do anything to gain the attention of the media, it's going to get ugly when the military or local enforcement gets involved. All of the sudden, the terrorists no longer have anything to lose... They can clearly see out the windows and see that it's a die/die situation. I wouldn't blame the response teams....I'd blame the political systems for not addressing the Chechnyans in a way that makes them want to disarm. Maybe it can't be done...they've been kicked out of their homeland like the Palestinians.
Why blame anybody other than the terrorists who committed these acts? Killing a bunch of defenseless children, IMO, is cause to render your grievances null and void. To believe otherwise, is to lend a sense of legitimacy to these despicable acts.
Despicable acts. The russians started killing Chechen children first, now they are recieving blowback from those nasty nasty atrocities.
HUH... where does the article say anything about Russians killing children....
Those who were killed were mostlikely Chechen rebels, and they got what they deserve.
Got what they deserved? For what? Defending their country from foreign invaders? Get a grip.
THOUSANDS of chechen children have been killed by the russian monsters. Here is one of many many many incidents.

You would think the poster would take the time to actually read the article that he was linking but I guess not. Regardless, killing innocent children renders your grievances null and void. What about that is so hard to understand?
On 31.10.1999 the main road linking Chechnya with Georgia, to the south was bombed and rendered impassable. Earlier some 2,500 refugees - all of them women, children and the very old - had used this route for their escape by dramatic marches on foot lasting many days over the high mountains to Shatili in Georgia. According to the Berlin-based German-Caucasian Society, they were bombed by the Russian air force as they were fleeing.

So the russian's grievences are null and void, right? They've killed over a hundred thousand Chechens and turned hundreds of thousands of people into refugees. Ethnic cleansing tends to turn turn people into monsters. So the chechens have adopted these terror techniques. They are reaping what has been sowed.

I think you have been through one too many hurricanes.
Explain how these incidents, in which innocent women and children may have been killed, gives someone the right to hold a school hostage, resulting in the deaths of 300+ innocents? What could they hope to possibly gain from this act? Sympathy? Again, the Chechens may have legitimate grievances but that does not give them the right to murder innocents. That you choose a thread, revolving around the death and destruction caused by these Chechen rebels, to defend the rebels is particularly disturbing. Why not pick your battles a little more carefully?

Well then you could argue had those same Chechen not try to invade Dagestan and force their conquest and so called "unification" on its people, they would not have to suffer Putin's invasion and this time get pummeled to ruins by Russian forces as opposed of the 1994-96 campaigns.

Had Putin not invaded in 1999, none of this would be happening. That's my point. Plus, people are trying to conflate this with our own war on terror, when they have little in common. People don't even know that Chechnya was an independent republic in 1999 and that Putin invaded, under false pretenses, to look tough and to consolidate his hold on the political leadership. This is merely cause and effect, and the Russians started the ball rolling.
russians leadership=chechen terrorists
Terrorist bombs explode in Moscow and other Russian cities. Russian authorities blame Chechen paramilitary commanders. Chechen insurgents enter neighboring Russian territory of Dagestan to help Islamic fundamentalists seeking to create separate nation.
Russian troops recapture breakaway areas of Dagestan. Yeltsin sends nearly 100,000 Russian troops into Chechnya. Russians occupy much of Chechnya, pulverize Grozny, driving rebels into hills. 250,000 refugees.

it's the same deal as china-taiwan. China claims Taiwan is theirs and if they attack there will be Taiwanese "terrorist".

:roll: I can't believe a person just said that. What the Chechens did at the school was wrong. And if a "Taiwanese Terrorist" attacked a school and killed children too, then thats wrong and their is absolutely NO justification for that.

The Dagestan/Chechen rebels had nothing to do with Maskhadov's legitimate Chechen government. That was just used by Putin as an excuse to succeed where Yelstin had failed. Maskhadov actually was fighting the chechen rebels who moved into Dagestan.
