Arabs attack Grozny

[Sava]

Gee, what a surprise... Arab terrorists supporting the Chechen terrorists... Arab terrorists also were supporting the Albanian terrorists in Kosovo... Yet the US is the only one allowed to fight terror.

This line of reasoning comes from where exactly?

Milosevic gets put in The Hague for combating terror in Kosovo.

Putin gets heat any time he does anything about Chechnya.

The US detains thousands and indiscriminantly bombs countries, starts wars with so-called rogue states, tramples on its own constitution... and the people cheer

So all these cases are exactly the same?

You're confusing me... they are all very different... that's my point... but the one constant is the Arab terror involvement. The US is hypocritical.

Kosovars and Chechens are NOT Arabs!

No your point is that the US is hypocritical becuase it prevents others from fighting terrorism. But the only way the US could be hypocritical is if its situation were exactly the same as the other examples that you yourself gave, otherwise it's a case of the US looking at each individual case and making a determination. Of course I suppose you only see evil intentions in all cases. oh woe the evil empire.

The cases are different, but are very similar. Arabs are supporting and financing terrorist operations in the US, Chechnya, and Kosovo. The US would have done the same thing Milosevic did, yet they condemn him. The US would have done the same thing Putin has been doing, yet they condemn him (not to the degree of Milosevic, but that's only because Putin is the leader of Russia and not Yugoslavia).

Why is this so hard for you people to see?

Would you mind listing all the similarities that you see that us poor misguided people may see your wisdom.

Sava, I see your point. But the common factor seems to be that the Arabs are financing "resistance" movements in various countries. They financed in the mujahedin resistance in Afghanistan, the resistance in Bosnia, the resistance in Chechnya, the resistance in Kosovo and of course the resistance in Palestine. Not all of these of course were conducted by means of terror operations. It does appear though that the Chechens use terror as their primary method of resistance. The Chechens are also highly integrated with Al Qaeda. And yet the Arab states continue the finance the Chechen resistance. I think it's time for the Arab states to cut off funds where the resistance employs atrocities as their method of operation.

As to Kosovo, did the KLA use terror in its operations prior to the NATO bombing campaign? If they did, I can see why people would believe that it is unjust to put Milosevic on trial while leaving the KLA terrorists free.

[Sava]

The KLA targeted woman and children. But it was the principality of their "resistance" which was most wrong. The ethnic Albanian revolts in Kosovo would be most comparable with a Hispanic revolt in the Southwestern US. And we all know what would happen if that were to occur. As for their methods, they didn't go for extravagant targets and large media coverage... they simply killed indiscriminantly.

Spray: If you can't see the similarities, I can't help you.

Unlike what some Russian nationalists and western ignorants think, Crimea is part of Ukraine, not Russia.

FOR NOW.

seriously, historically, ukraine has very little to do with the crimea, It was more comfortable to administrate from Kiev during the SU, so Khruschev (who was ukraininan btw) gave it to the USSR (Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic )
