What do you do if you're Putin?
The Chechneyans are NOT going away, and they're only the most visible and vocal of the "breakaway" republic want-to-bes. And for a nation doing every single thing it can to re-establish itself as the second super power, this glaring example of not keeping its house in order is a big black eye.
Hey, I don't wish this on anyone, even Putin. I LIKE the idea of a strong Russia. I LIKE the idea of sharing the responsibility of being world police, and a re-established Russia is just that. Let the Russians deal with the Middle East, or North Korea, or China. But that's kind of hard when the thorns in their side send black widows into the subways and kill Muscovites by the dozen.
What mystifies me is that anyone would have to tell a EUROPEAN nation the horrors of terrorism. Doesn't anyone remember the terror attacks in the 1980s? Airport bombings, dance club bombings, car bombs? Come on! If a collective group of nations should be LEADING the charge for eradicating terror where it grows, it should be the European nations.
Sad really. Were you at any of those stations, Titus?
