The thing that bothers me so much though is that the Chechens are willing to hold a school full of children hostage and shoot them. That really hurts their image as "Freedom Fighters". They have really shifted to terrorists in my mind.
Remember, one man's freedom fighters are another man's terrorists.
Um so ? We have come from Middle Asia, Anatolia is not our homeland. So we don't have claim for the land we have fought for centuries? What's the point actually? What do they being relocated against Russia mean? Not rightful to defend where they live for the time being ?

Not that I'm a fan of terrorists -I really don't care about Chechnya, I'm only concerned with the claim above of yours.
