Interesting interview at Winds of Change with the leader of the group that is fighting in Chechnya. His aim is the, " establishment of a caliphate from the Black Sea to the Caspian, not to Russian withdrawl from Chechnya."
The parallel with situation in Israel is obvious. "Peace" advocates propose Israeli pull-out from territories on the theory that the Arabs will then be satisfied, all in the face of the most open statements from Arab leaders (at least when they are speaking in Arabic) that thier aim is the destruction of Israel. Whatever one thinks of how Russia or Isreal has behaved in the predominantly Muslim territories it can hardly be maintained that the Muslim's will stop murdering if the infidels leave. The other side has made thier intentions clear for all who are interested in seeing.
But of course the apologists for terrorism don't see the terrorists as having intentions. Terrorists are merely 'reacting' to thier oppression. The fact that terrorists are not seen as rational agents makes it possible to excuse their actions and to ignore their stated intentions.
