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.

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?

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.

Put an end to popups!

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.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

mazzz, I was looking for a link, but all I could find was the following which indicates an Arab was involved in planning the attack.

"A spokesman for Russian forces in Chechnya, Col. Ilya Shabalkin, said that Chechen rebel warlord Shamil Basayev and an Arab militant, Abu al-Walid, ordered the attack, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported.

Shabalkin said Basayev and al-Walid, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood organization, met with other rebels in the Nozhai-Yurt region of Chechnya before the bombing and al-Walid urged the rebels to carry out major terrorist acts in Grozny and other regional centers in Chechnya.

Yasser el-Sirri, of the London-based Islamic Observation Center, said the Saudi-born al-Walid became a leading rebel commander in Chechnya after the death of Arab warlord Omar Ibn al Khattab. Al-Walid's real name is Abdel Aziz al-Ghamidi, he said."

Your statement that Arabs don't back violence may be true of many Arabs, but obviously, not all.

Perhaps it's news for you guys, but this guy- Omar Ibn al Khattab was FREIND, EMISSARY and STUDENT of surprise, surprise....Osama bin Laden.



There is nothing new for me in your story Ned. Chechnya is full of Arab mercenaries and Wahhabite preachers.

mazzz, we are coming to an agreement here on the use of language. Not all Arabs are terrorists. Neither are all Arabs against violence. Ditto Israeli's.

We have had similar debates here on the character of Islam. What we concluded, I believe is that we cannot generalize. There some Islamic clerics who believe and promote violence. There are other who preach peace and coexistence.

Generalizations are typically wrong and lead to prejudice.

I guess that's all what you know about history of Crimea.
To your knowledge it was conquered centuries before this war and btw, last war there was WW2 and defenders of Crimea did very well.

Btw, I don't know a single war where America did well.

Crimea was conquered by Catherine II not more than a century before Crymean war, somewhere in the seventies-eighties of XVIII century. Serb, You are a great ignorant!!!

I know how Ukraine gained Crymea. It's about that it's a posessity of Ukraine now. If someone except for me called Lithuania or Ukraine a Polish province, I would think He didn't do well. Crymea has as little to do with Ukraine as with Russia.

And yes, Ukraine is eternal part of Great Poland :P
