Recent events have dictated that terrorism has become a problem in Russia’s Caucasus Region. Obviously Russian President Dimitry Medvedev is not worried about world opinion on how he deals with the terrorist problem.
In a meeting with his National Security Council, Medvedev is quoted by Russian News Agencies, “The battle against terrorists must be pursued unceremoniously. They must be liquidated without emotion or hesitation, or else we will not succeed.”
These comments mirror those of his predecessor and mentor Vladimin Putin, who has been quoted as saying that rebels in Chechnya should be hunted down and whacked in the outhouse.
Medvedev made those comments two days after a truck packed with explosives rammed the gates of a police station in Igushetia, in a neighbouring province in Chechnya. That attack killed 24 and wounded 130. Nine are still missing.
President Dimitry Medvedev warned Wednesday that Russia’s Caucasus Region was dangerously unstable and said « terrorists » there must be liquidated without emotion.
The battle against terrorists must be pursued unceremoniously Medvedev was quoted as saying at a meeting with members of his national security council in the southern Russian city of Stravropol.

What a bunch of two faced characters. When it hits their house then no mercy for terrorists. Thanks for this one Karl.

You're welcome tikun. Yep it's amazing how hypocritical some folks are.

Good luck Medveded! I doubt if you'll succeed. But in any event I hope that your country will make a sincere and honest effort to distinguish between terrorists and non-terrorists given your country's past propensities.

The difference here is that it is not used to justify a war against Iraq or Afghanistan.
Fighting Terrorism is obvious, using it has an excuse to invade a sovereign Country is another matter.
This is an internal matter with in the Russian Federation not used to invade another country with large oil resources.

There is also a difference between fighting and liquidating. If we want to call some Muslims freedom fighters as opposed to terrorists, we must apply the same to Chechnya.

True, after all, George Washington was a terrorist at first and became a freedom fighter once he won the war.
The Bay-leaves always go to the winner ACP, no matter whether that winner was right or wrong...

I think I know that too well Paschen. By the way Regime Change was on the agenda long before George Bush. He just acted on it.

I can not work out why Russia does not let these people have their independence, the only thing I can think of is reason of strategy.

Bingo Babel-Fish. Russia has tried for Centuries to have a naval access to the south, why the Afghanistan war was conducted as well.
Afghanistan borders to Iran, and Iran has been a traditional ally to Russia.
Mind you the US would do no differed here would Alaska or Texas decide to leave the Union.

Amazing how a lot of people ignore the fact that all this power play is about oil.
