Chechen Rebel Admits to Being Terrorist

I'm not going to comment on this article too much. I think both sides have committed horrible crimes, but when a guy does this," Basayev claimed responsibility for the 2004 school attack in which gunmen held more than 1,000 hostages for nearly three days in the Russian town of Beslan. The raid ended in gunfire and explosions, killing more 330 people, mostly children," and he can say this, "It's not the children who are responsible," Basayev said. But he added: "Responsibility is with the whole Russian nation... If the war doesn't come to each of them individually, it will never stop in Chechnya," He's got a few morality problems. He's also wrong in thinking that he can end the conflict by making everyone feel its pain. That is not just a ends justify the means problem, it just plain inhuman.

I'm not taking sides, I'd bet there are a few Russian leaders who are just as bad, but I just can't stand it when people target innocent children like this.
