#1 Are these guys insane, or what? Who would willingly do such a thing? Why don't they just bury their AK, leave town, and never look back?

#2 Gromky: There are several possibilities why the acted in this manner: 1. They're literally scared out of their minds. 2. They fear thier own death. 3. They have gotten a taste of life as a Chechen terrorist & they don't like it one bit. 4. They loathe death & killing. 5. They can't stand the constant anxiety of being a member of an illegal terrorist group that is constantly hunted by the Russians. 6. He wants out for the sake of a loved one (a kid, a wife/girlfriend, a parent, etc.) 7. He has angered someone in the terrorist group and is no longer safe with them. He could've ratted someone out, slept with somebody's wife, stolen from someone in the terrorist group, disobeyed an order, been a coward during an attack, disagreed with a leadership figure, etc. 8. His goals in life have changed. He wants to be a doctor. He wants to move to Mecca & be a priest. He wants to write a children's book, etc. 9. He is in conflict with someone involved in illegal activity and is going to spill the beans as a way of getting back at somebody. 10. He needs protection from the government. 11. He is sick/has a medical condition. 12. He woke up on the wrong side of the bed and decided "What the hell! I think I'll go turn myself in to the Russians!" 13. He has grown old. 14. He has grown sick of the life as a Chechen terrorist. 15. No such surrender ever took place. The Russians made it up for propoganda purposes.

#6 I agree with mucki and anti Kentucky man has an excellent imagination. KB ever thought about writing a thoughtful childrens book about getting married to your 55 year old cousin, and what a good idea it is? You could call it Fore! The Children. Or maybe It Takes an Uncle to Raise a Wife. I'm a fair hand with simple illustrations, let me know.

#7 Shipman, here's a link for you to read while you ponder just how you became so bigoted.

#8 Gromky, I'd give you a link to read so you could ponder how you became so stupid, but I fear the reading level would make you spew shit out your nostrils. I've been reading here quite a while and I can say I have not seen any evidence that Ship is a bigot. Show me otherwise, or just shut the fuck up and go blow your cat.

#12 On review I see I left out a comma,
it reads better this way....

The comment was aimed at our friend Gentle, trying to get KB to help write a kids book about islamo nuts.... KB if you took offense absolutely none was meant, it was poor grammar.
