Chechnya and the US

Well, it looks like we have another real problem on our hands in Chechnya. I asked rhetorically, the other day, whether Russia is that oppressive. The answer is yes. Russia has abused the Chechnyans since the days of the Soviet Union.

Now, when we know we can take on Russia, do we not stop their actions against the Chenyans with force, and allow the Chechnyans to set up their own government?

And then there's Sudan. Why are we not eager to help there? This is international terrorism and military leaders who kill their own people. Why do we have no interest there?

Little w says, "You can't have it both ways." Well, w, you can't have it both ways. You are placing us in harm's way by allowing Chechnya to become a breeding ground for terrorists. And Darfur will be the same.

Furthermore, what about Iran and North Korea? We know they have nuclear weapons. Why did you not conquer them? You can't have it both ways. I cannot imagine the wars you will start in a second term.

I support the military, but I want a military with orders to fight for peace. I want a military with good planners and a competent commander in chief, not a megalomaniacal fundamentalist madman.
