#1 Ya know, it's nice to see we're helping Russia stablize and protect our potentially newest source of oil.

#3 Certainly relevant to the Russians, and to the inhabitants of Dagestan, Ingushetia, and Georgia. Relevant to the Saudis, or they wouldn't be pouring money and men into the project. If we ignore them, and indulge the namby-pamby, we can root out every last bastion of terrorism in the world and when we think we're all done the virulence will start up again because we left one pocket of it untouched because it wasn't "relevant" to us.

#4 Chechnya is and has always been: a dagger aimed at the heart of Russia.

#5 Chechnya basicaly got autonomy in the early 90's and developed a state dedicated to kidnapping, extortion, murder, and various. They had no GDP and when there was nothing left to pillage and plunder within their own borders they decided to get some more from Russia. They have earned everything that the Russians have done there.
