    theocracy=strife,civil war, killings, halt of scientific advancment

    the entire middle-east is in chaos because of there religion (please, you know this is true, ever since the split of islam and the rise of multiple caliphs they've been at each others throats and ripping there economies to bits)
    and the U.S. is in the middle-east because we are extremeists, just like the terrorists we are democratic extremists. we believe everyone who is not in a democracy is not truly living and should be turned into a democracy no matter how many of there buildings we are forced to bomb.

    That is exactly what Russia is trying to do.

    Well, you see they were granted their independence, but that didn't last. Terrorist attacks and kidnappings in Russia were traced back to them. The fact that they held up a school only makes the russians right...

    What I would do if I were in charge in Russia is to completely blockade the country. They want independence? Fine. But there will not be one chechen on russian territory. I would establish trade blockades, close all the borders and embargo all of their products (what do they produce, anyway?). It wouldn't be long before they beg to rejoin Russia even if just to have a trading partner.

    No offence meant to people with sensitivities in the area. Hypothetical scenario only.

    This statement while I don't agree completely with how it is written, has the bitter ring of truth in it. Probably an accurate summation/generalization of United States Foreign Policy.
    O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean

    Sorry, I call this the Backroom Impact I'll not bother you, sir

    First off, most of the modern day United States citizens were foreign invaders. Were are the people native to the land? Very small percentage. Very small. They have more right to the land than anyone else, correct?
    You're stubbornly missing the point here. Where I live currently, this region, and Istanbul itself has more history with the Greeks. But after the historical process, this land has been ours for long. What I'm trying to say is, land may natively belong to another, but this does not allow you to derive a percentage of ownage on it among the sides.

    Not trying to fire up anything here, it's because I just came up with it since it is simple: If Greeks want these lands back, then they try to get it..What they had done actually around 80 years ago. And we rightfully had defended it. That's all.

    Same goes for your sayings about how Azeris were located there. Are they living there? Yes. Then it's their land as much as once the natives of the land feel the way towards it. There's nothing like "more mine, less theirs". America belongs to USA as much as it used to to native Indians. Whoever gets it, has the equal share about the rights of the land.

    Clear, I hope ?
