Lol. Whew, that was exhausting reading this doublespeak of semantics.
My
point is that there's plenty of Chechen terrorists too, they're not just
some glorified 'freedom fighers defending their sacred homeland',
especially
when who knows how many are even Chechen to begin with, let alone could
care
less about the situation.
But whatever; I wasn't trying to prove anyone wrong.........on a public
ng, whats the point, lol.
