Poor old Iran has already been mentioned twice despite this thread being only about Russia and Chechnya. Amazing what propaganda can do so quicky to the naive.

Man, I agree. And it's so fucking sad.

I'll leave it at that.

Though I will mention I'm no saint when it comes to believing propaganda without doing proper research (3 years ago and before).

I hope we're not referring to me here. I compared Iran favorably to a potentially independent Chechnya and to Taliban-era Afghanistan. Iran is no worse off than anywhere else in the middle east, more stable internally than Yemen or Lebanon, and with a solid social infrastructure. Despite sponsoring terrorism, they themselves are not a terrorist state (they can get a little vindictive with scapegoating, but a great many nations are guilty of that)
