in any event i think i may have stated that our iraqi invasion could lead to consequences that ultimately led to less stability and less security. with newly radicalized islamics by the tens of thousands now vowing revenge on us (among other things) there is little evidence that's not case. - js. |

Just let chechnia be an independent state or country, clamping down on it will not help the matter, only will create more terrorists acts or worse, more terrorists. |

A mountainous region, Chechnya has important oil deposits, as well as natural gas, limestone, gypsum, sulphur, and other minerals. Its mineral waters have made it a spa center. Major production includes oil, petrochemicals, oil-field equipment, foods, wines, and fruits. For centuries, the Chechen people's history and relationship with the regional power, Russia, has been full of turmoil. http://www.globalissues.org/Geopolitics/Chechnya.asp |
so, doing exactly what terrorists demand is going to reduce future terrorist attacks? I'd have thought that would just encourage them....
IMO, governments need to remove the attraction to terrorism by ensuring that nothing is ever, ever gained from it. And yes, having a foreign policy that isn't fundamentally evil helps a lot too. Unfortunately for any innocent Chechnians that were peacefully seeking independence, they're basically screwed. Russia (and the rest of the world) can't conceed an inch to them, not without showing every desperate lunatic out there that terrorism produces positive results. |
less dependency on oil would help..i really dont think i am saying give into anything..makes me wonder tho..is sharon giving in by giving back land israel had stolen?
i dont think so..the attacks will go on regardless..but i am sure everyone can see its the right thing to do..but then again the land probably wont be given back to those that were actualy displaced imo when its time to pull out troops from iraq..will that be giving in..maybe? US pulling out of saudi arabia ? when its the conservatives in power,and they do it.. it will be.. well done mission accomplished..anything the left tries to do will be cutting and running ,i guess.. |

And Multi allthough i do not support israel or the palestinians in this matter, Israel did offer them them the return of 98% of all the land they occupied ( camp david treaty? i am not sure on this one) i think that is a fair offer that was rejected by mister yasar arafat himself |

Just some news of the Aftermath in Russia...
RUSSIA: Beslan Aftermath September 24, 2004: Russian police have arrested over 10,000 people in the aftermath of the terrorist attack in the North Ossetian town of Beslan. About half of those rounded up are people living in Moscow illegally. In Russia, you have to be registered with the government, as living at a particular address, to be "legal." In the Soviet period, you needed government permission to move your residence, or even travel long distances. The Russian legislature is considering reintroducing some of these restrictions. The low pay scales for police and security personnel is also being examined, as the low pay is given as a major reason for the widespread accepting of bribes by the police. It was a bribed cop that got suicide bombers on Russian aircraft last month. September 23, 2004: In Chechnya, military operations against rebel groups continue at a high level (in response to the Beslan murders). Six rebels were killed in Chechnya today, and their camp examined for weapons, equipment and documents. September 22, 2004: Diplomatic pressure is being turned up on Britain and Qatar, to get these countries to give up Chechen rebel leaders they have granted political asylum to. September 18, 2004: Police arrested a man driving a car full of explosives in Moscow. The man said he was paid a thousand dollars on a street that Russian president Putin often drove down. The arrested man died of a heart attack shortly after his arrest. September 17, 2004: Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev admitted he was behind the Beslan school massacre. Basayev said that the operation had only cost him about $9,000 to finance. About 30 of Basayevs followers also died in the operation. Basayevs also admitted that the suicide bombing of two Russian airliners last month had only cost him $4,000, while the suicide bombing outside a Moscow subway station last month had cost him back $7,000 to carry out. September 15, 2004: As a result of the Beslan murders, police and military operations in Chechnya have increased. This has produced the arrest of some Chechens involved in supporting terrorist operations, and rebel camps as well. Part of this is because of more energetic operations by angry Russians, but also more tips from Chechens appalled at the mass murder of Children in Beslan. September 14, 2004: Russia and Israel have exchanged intelligence officers, and apparently information on terrorist operations as well. United States aircraft have been moving 24 pounds of Cold War era weapons grade uranium from Uzbekistan, where Islamic radicals are a growing force, back to Russia. The uranium had been stored at a nuclear research facility. Hundreds of pounds of similar grade uranium are still stored in research facilities and industrial facilities in nations that were once part of the Soviet Union. |
