stupid people...can't they all just get along, the terrorists don't understand that whoever was captured and is now in jail got there because of what they, and exactly what these guys are doing now, how stupid do you have to be to not realize what you are doing....they want to be their own counrty...WHY?! i don't see a point, it would be much easier and much less of a hastle if they stayed with the federation.

Chechnya has been part of Russia for nearly a century. The Chechens wanted freedom from the USSR, but when it collapsed in 1991 the Russians made it part of their federation, and not one of the newly formed states.

They proclaimed freedom but Russia ignored them.

It was the Chechens who started this by invading a neighbouring Russian territory called Dagestan.

I don't want to be a smart ass, but.. Chechnya is not in Eastern Europe. It is in the Caucus, which is directly north of Turkey and Iran. Other countries located in the area is Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. If I'm not mistaken it is considered Asia Minor, or Southwest Asia.

Aside from that, a number of the former communist countries in Eastern Europe are slowly recovering (Poland, Czech Republic have already improved a lot since 1991). So even if it was in East Europe, what are you implying?

This drama is not in Moscow.....

And Happydude, I think the Chechens are being discriminated by the Russians, I'm not sure about that.

I don't want to judge on the situation because I don't totally understand it....

Blech. They invaded. People died. It's not over yet.

When are terrorists going to understand that you don't **** with Mother Russia? Has the government ever done ANYTHING remotely like a concession, or do they attack and kill people?

Hey terrorists... GET A CLUE.

I already said why the Russians invaded Chechnya. It's because Chechen forces invaded Dagestan, a neighbouring Russian republic in the federation.

Fox 6 · 09-03-2004, 12:46 PM

Yes lots of people died, and not just Terrorists.

I'm not talking about what happened the other day. What I said has nothing to do with it.

I'm talking about why there is conflict between Russia and Chechnya. There is your reason. If you ever payed attention to what goes on there, you'd know.

He meant police (or whatever Russian forces) conducted a raid on the building, lasted a number of hours, people died, and apparently there's still gunfire last I heard? Apparently some of the terrorists escaped? But so did a bunch of the hostages...

Unless I'm just confused as well?

Here's da news

Bah.

He said earlier that he didn't know why Russian invaded Chechnya in the first place.

That was my answer.

It's sad how many kids have been killed. Very sad indeed.
