"Pissed @ Ken Starr? Go kill some Afghanies/Sudanese! That'll show him!"

The peoples from that part of the world are none to be trifled with. I remember a story about the Afghan rebels. It was in the throes of winter in Afghanistan and a group of mujahadin slowly crawled along a mountainside for 18 hours in -30 windchills until they came to rows of Soviet borderguard blockhouses. Said one rebel fighter, "We had each had a relative murdered by the Russians--our hate was stronger than our suffering." They lit the blockhouses on fire and machinegunned the Russians as they ran out from the blazes.

In Chechnya a group of rebel fighters attacked a Russian town across the border then fled back into Chechen territory. An entire Russian army pursued and surrounded them as they holed up in a small village. Though viciously shelled with artillery, they held out for several days. Then, without warning, the rebels effected a frontal attack from out of the rubble, catching the Russians totally off-guard as fresh Chechen units filtered in to attack the Russians from the rear. In the confusion, a third of the Chechens escaped the trap. The rest died fighting, inflicting heavy casualties on Russian troops. It was one of the greatest guerrilla victories in history.
