What can be observed is that (ironically speaking) Chechen people
may not be quite too happy to live under the rule of Russians, who
have done them so much good this far.
Frankly, the "puppet" pro-Russian government in Chechnya may not
even necessary be treacherous, but merely wise seeing no
alternative to a regime that has re****tedly killed 1 in 5 Chechnyans,
raped countless women, and destroyed the cities.
So, even this group, intented as a place where Chechen could speak
out - is failed. Over-spammed and ridiculed. Chechnyans are silent.
Pro-islamic forces as the lead of rebellion may be just what the
Russians want, giving them aliby to deal with the danger that has
caused 911.
Since it is not certain that Russians would not kill 4 in 5 Chechnians,
or all 5, Chechen people are now subdued under Russian boot that still
seems acceptable to us due to media and public relations.
According to rule of self-determination of nations, and judged by the
need for freedom from oppression, Chechnyans should be liberated.
But we live in the world dominated by (nuclear) force and profit, which
is not so good friend of justice.
Brainwashed by newsflaashes, we direct our attention to next big
disaster, or to Paris Hilton's new haircut, forgetting millions of
victims.
Whatever we saw, we will also reap.
Though Chechnyans are Muslims, I will quote Christian Bible in this
moment:
"Whoever shuts his ears from the cry of the oppressed,
he will cry too and no one will listen."
Great truth that will make us wonder someday why this evil or that
evil is happening to us. But the answer is simple: we looked the other
way when it was happening to our neighbor.
