    The Russians have been trying to 'pacify' that particular corner of the world for centuries, on and off. I'd say the hatred runs quite deep on both sides by now. Finnish soldiers serving there in the 19th century couldn't understand why they were killing the local sheepherders, but the Czar said it was important.
    If you're fighting fair you've made a miscalculation.

    It has been on-going since 1785 when the Chechens started waging a holy war against the Russians under Sheikh Mansur after Russian troops occupied the area.

    So basically the fact that Russia didn't support the war in Iraq has nothing to do with them being attacked by an enemy they've been trying to kill for centuries ?

    Well spank my arse and call me Nancy, reaaaaalllly ?
    Look what these bastards have done to Wales. They've taken our coal, our water, our steel. They buy our homes and live in them for a fortnight every year. What have they given us? Absolutely nothing. We've been exploited, raped, controlled and punished by the English — and that's who you are playing this afternoon Phil Bennett's pre 1977 Rugby match speech

    Yes, that's the point, but at least one person didn't know that, but might now.
    You may not care about war, but war cares about you!
