All this proves to me is that Russia should be aiding other western countries in the war on terror. Chechnya is not alone in fighting Russia foreign fighters have been flowing in to aid the Chechnans in fighting Russia. The Islamic insurgency is a global issue and extremist Islamic groups need to meet a unified front.
Example, Russia vetoing further moves against Iran. Russia actually providing Nuclear technology (For a reactor and processing plant). Iran is a sponsor of global terrorist networks and a threat to the developing and developed world. Russia putting up road blocks for supplying american and Nato troops in Afghanistan, Russia should be doing everything in its power to help them stabalize the country.
In my opinion the second most powerful country on earth should be doing more to combat extremism. Its so worried about Nato but the Islamic Jihad is spreading and a threat to all our countries. I'd expect Russia to help Nato maybe even offer to send peace Keepers to Afghanistan and Iraq.
Russia needs to stop protecting terrorists, especially when those terrorists are attacking you. I watched a report on TV a year or so ago that said Al Quada was sending fighters from all over to Chechnya. This included fighters from Canada and other countries, this just goes to show you this is a global fight.
All democratic countries are targets, all secular countries are targets. Its time Russia started investing more into fighting alongside the rest of the world (Nato/UNISOM) Contribute more peace keepers stop shielding Iran, invest heavily in winning back the people's hearts (not only in Chechnya but globally)!
