Ronald -
There's no published evidence linking Chechens to the Moscow terror. As a matter of fact, the pro-Russian voices on this board prefer to go easy on that part, while stressing
a) incursions from Chechnya into the territory of
the neighboring Republic of Dagestan;
b) kidnappings and other criminal activities by the "militants" based in Chechnya - even if not allied with the Chechen separatist government.
If it would be all about the explosions on Kashirskoye Shosse, Russian actions would look even worse: imagine the US Airforce carpet-bombing Puerto Rico in retaliation for the terrorist acts in the Seventies....

One Russian general said today that army has evidence that Chechens did the bombings in the Moscow and will present them in the court during the trial. Do you believe this? Why or why not?
I still believe the Russian Special Police or a wing of the military did the bombings. Just my opinion of course.
Does anyone know what the russian population thought of Chechnya prior to the bombings? Was it for war or not? Any solid sources would be appreciated.
Your the idiot BONES justifying Hiroshima. How else you going to explain barbarism {saved 1 million lives} .Thats just propaganda to justify doing it . YOU have unleashed the most evil thing known to mankind. Go ahead convince yourself that it was a good thing
Igor,
...and happily have not used them since.
The soviet union tested theirs on the chinese peasents across the border from soviet test sites I believe. Well the radiation effects anyhow...
Is it Murmansk- where the local radio puts out the daily radiation levels (from rotting submarines)- along with the weather report?
And some people including Yeltsin still haven't had enough of these confounded things.

I unleashed it? No, I believe the President did.
Now to convincing myself.....1 million lives versus ?. Hmmm....Okay....convinced! Wasn't as hard as I thought.
BTW Igor, approximately 170,000 Japanese died during both blasts. That's combined, now as to how many after from radition sickness the numbers vary.
Now if you wish to argue more about the past (before I was even born), turn around and talk to the wall...you're getting boring.
Kim,
Don't bother with Igor, he'll argue Western propaganda everytime.
Sad...
People,
Do you see that you have the wrong idea about Islam? You think you don’t? Please everyone; do you know that 1/5 of the world population are Muslims, and still growing? Did you ask yourself why is that? I think that all that you know is the political issues that are happening to Muslims, am I right? All that I want is; just do a little research about Islam in an Islamic trusted resource. Thank you everyone for allowing me to take your time.

If you are so ••••••• brave come over and we will have a talk. But the thing is that you wan't you are too ••••••• scared.

Yes they did apologized for the market but of course you didn’t see it since western media did not cover it. Actually Russia apologized for many what you called "screw ups" does it justify their actions? Well you sure think so.
"I still believe the Russian Special Police or a wing of the military did the bombings. Just my opinion of course."
You did not answer how did you come up to this conclusion? What made you think so, what evidence did you see that pointed you in this direction?
IN ANY WAR PEOPLE DIE. YOUNG,OLD,MALE,FEMALE AND CHILDERN OF ALL AGES. I KNOW THAT IF MY COUNTRY WAS INVADED OR TERRORIST BLEW UP OUR BUILDINGS, I WOULD EXPECT MY COUNTRY TO TAKE ACTION. IM AN AMERICAN, AND PROUD OF IT. I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST THE RUSSIANS. IF IT WAS YOUR RELATIVE'S HEAD THAT WAS CUT OFF,OR IF ONE OR MORE OF YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS WERE BEING HELD HOSTAGE FOR RANSOM, MOST LIKELY ALREADY DEAD,YOU MIGHT THINK DIFFERENTLY. AS FAR AS THE INOCENT PEOPLE BEING KILLED,WELL PEOPLE DIE IN WAR. THATS WHAT MAKES IT BAD

Dear concerned,
What is the "wrong" idea of Islam?
I am an atheist, and I also think that any discussion of deities simply makes economic/political issues more difficult to solve,when one or both sides believe they are the chosen ones and therefore superior to others.
Why is it so important what non-muslims think of Islam? You are free to believe what you want. And if you are indeed found to be right in your belief-you wll get your reward for your faith.
In the meantime who knows which religion is the right one. Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, Atheism ?
This seems to me so simple- what is there to get the wrong idea about?
You believe it, I don't - can we agree to disagree?
I do not believe in a God and believe that the Bible,Koran were written by man to provide a basis for social structure. I can understand that you will think I am wrong about that.
But,please, if I don't believe, what is the point of quoting the Koran or the Bible at me?
My creed is the Declaration of human rights- and before anyone pounces on me - I don't care who wrote it, or for what twisted reasons- I believe what is written in that document is right.
Maybe I don't have the wrong idea about belief after all, just a different belief?
Kim
This is funny, Russian army say they have never stormed Grozny. Who to believe?
HI IGOR,
I LOOKED. APPAULING. ANYONE WHO THINKS YOU CAN SANITIZE WAR, OR MAKE IT CLEAN IS ONLY KIDDING THEIR SELF. THE CHETCHEN REBELS STARTED IT BUT I BELIEVE THE RUSSIAN ARMY WILL END IT. I WOULD EXPECT THE SOME FROM MY COUNTRY IF IT HAPPENED HERE
