This thing between russian and chechnya has been happening for a long long time (before dubya was born) so Dr Simon sayin that bush's "war on terror" plan isnt workin is stupid and shows that you dont know much about the russian-chechen conflict..
for those who dont know heres a brief summary. If USA were to get involved in this, it would only cause more problems then its worth

Here's a quote from "Russia vs. Chechnya for Dummies":

"The Russian-Chechen conflict we know today began decades ago with the attempt of the Muslim province to secede in 1810. Russia's attempts to keep the oil pipeline holding province has been successful but violent and continues today.

In 1990, after the fall of the U.S.S.R. many nations seceded from the Soviet Republic, including Georgia, Latvia, and Ukraine. Russia had several reasons to keep Chechnya, but they wanted to make an example out of Chechnya and attack the breakaway province in order to maintain ownership. When former Chechen president Dudaev declared independance in 1994, Boris Yeltsin declared war, and Former Chechen president Muskhadov declared independance again in 1999 and on and off fighting has continued.

President Vladimir Putin continues to attack Chechnya, today in order to stifle the Muslim movement against Russia."
