No mattter will russian forces conquer the whole territory of Chechnya or not, the main thing is absolutley obvious - this will cause THE HATE which can last for centuries, and THIS HATE will be from the both sides from the chechens who lost almost the whole nation and independence and russian mothers who lost their sons, husbands in this war.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[hi, <BR>The war in Chechnya is the usual example of the Russian Empire&#039;s way of solving the ethnic problems in so big country. I don&#039;t beleive any russian mass media information about the situation there. This is the war, and the lie is the old weapon of communist russia. Mostly, people don&#039;t know anything what happened in their country. I don&#039;t think that they are so stupid and so great nationalists. When the first war in Chechnya was over they started to prepare the public opinion for the second war, you remember all the soviet style steretypes like " the country of gangsters" <BR>"chechen&#039;s mafia", and etc. Yes, there are some bad people among chechens also as among russians,  <BR>chineese,germans,japanees,whoever.. But you can&#039;t say this about the whole nation.. It&#039;s obvious. And when they are trying to destroy the whole country and the whole nation becouse there are some bandits who kidnapping children .. the same things can be done with Moscow , let&#039;s us shell Moscow becouse too many gangsters and bandits there!! that is the sick logic! It is shame of Russian Federation, and personally every sitizen of Russia,it&#039;s shame on me because I am sitizen of Russia too.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Basayev, <BR>I fuly gree with you when you point out the paradox of Rusia not paying coal miner or policemen, <BR>of a Russia ill from corruption of all sort and money evasion. <BR>But you know there is always money for the weaponry. Do you think that islamist contries who lead theyr Holly war has, unlike Russia, a brillant economy? <BR>About Afganistan, <BR>1/ mujahidin received strong support from the US. Even a movie has been released from Hollywood studios; (the War Machine if I remember, telling the story of a russian tank crew). <BR>Please don&#039;t deny this. <BR>2/I do not beleive the muslims are happier under the Taliban rule than under a pro Russsian one. But it&#039;s true that at the time, there were no Russia. Russia was taken over by the Bolsheviks and I agree therefore that nobody wanted at any price to be swallowad into the USSR and live under communism. <BR> <BR>By the way, you didn&#039;t answer to my question: What&#039;s your opinion about massacres in Algeria?]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Thanks Alex Smirnitski.  <BR>At feast you did not use the word "F". But you could not answer my question  <BR>where the russians getting money from? Few days back when russia even could not pay the salary of the cole miners than how come they are now affodding this war? Do you want to say that this war does not cost anything? May be you want to say that that in last 48 hours hussia spend $2 and lost only 2 millatary person after heavy fighting. That can be chrimas joke not the reality. You also did not made any comment about the destruction of Soviet Union by the muslims. If you think that big size big army is the power than keep it in your mind you don&#039;t care that. Afghan knew how big the S. union was and saw how many Russian Millatary personal were involved in the invasion, but still they fought and defited them. Just to let you know  one comment of Mikhil Gorvachev about Afghan war most probably in early nineties or late eighties  <BR>and that is --"Directly or inderictly one million russian millatary personal are involved in the afghan war". Now just compare that with the population of Afghanistan. Using all the strength  <BR>the super power s. union could not take the small vally "PANJSHEER" led by the Great mujadeen leader Ahmed Shah Masood. If you live in Russia than ask any vateran about Panjsheer. May be he will get faint. There is no way you will win this war. Last time you were also very confident and announced that it will be a matter of days. But you know the result, please don&#039;t tell me that you won that last war. I think lots of Russians think so because of the media.  <BR>We muslims never hate any one. Even from my bottom of heart I wish the comlpete destruction of Russia and its army still I don&#039;t hate them. I don&#039;t hare any army personal but still I can kill the without any hesitation.  <BR>I told you about the Banker who was killed. Just go and arad about him than tell me what you think. <BR>You will find it that in recent months he gave Russians Billions of $. Don&#039;t worry his bank will get all the money from you.  <BR>You told me to wait until the war ends. I don&#039;t think that I will be able to find you when the war ends. Because at that time all of you who supported the war will hide at your homes. So this is the time to talk. <BR>You told me that Russia supported the muslims during the arab isreal war. Russia supported the arrabs not the Muslim. Though they got helped from the russians, they lost the war. A true Muslim never seek safety from a nonmuslim. Against the Muslims all the same whether Russians or Americans. You told me about Arafat, Asad, Mubarak  <BR>who told you that they represent the Muslims. They are the greatest enemy of Muslims. So you are actually aiding the enemy of Muslim. If you really  <BR>want to see the true Muslims look just those people whom the west and you call terrorists. I am not telling all of them are good but most of them. <BR>Go read how Stalin killed Muslims. How the red army destroyed Mosques in Azarbizan, Uzbekistan etc and all other Muslim republic of s union. If you support the russians then you are the enemy of Muslims, Islam and Allah. <BR>   Long live Basayev long Live Khattab <BR>        Long live Chechny]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Serb, <BR> <BR>Please post a link as to the NATO loses during the Kosovo campaign.  You know...planes downed/Special Forces killed and the like.  I remember two planes being shot down with one being the stealth the other a F-16 I believe.  I&#039;m not disputing that others were hit but your number of 56 destroyed is suspect.  I also remember seeing the three army troops on tv that were captured but no pictures of dead americans.  THAT in itself would have made better news than three lowly grunts.  Here&#039;s the perfect chance to prove a westener wrong.  Oh, make that an "independent" source too, not a Serb one.  I could always find a NATO one to counter your claim. <BR> <BR>One other thought comes to mind and nobody has yet answered it completely (just opened a can of worms).  If the Yugoslav army and paramilitaries weren&#039;t being hurt that badly by the air strikes, then WHY did they abandon Kosovo?  Was it that they didn&#039;t like watching their country being systematicly destroyed or what?  Just looking for answers...]]></content:encoded>
