Right. You can't really pick on the Jews too much -- what an international uproar you would create! Every Jewish organization in the world would be on your neck! But the Chechens -- who is going to stand up for them? There are now only about a million Chechens in Russia itself, and fewer than that abroad, so it's a lot safer to make them the collective scapegoat. But you've got to hand it to the Chechens -- what a brainy bunch! A handful of Chechens have been able to undermine the entire economy of a country of almost 150 million! What a joke...

Russia Responsible For Terrorism In The Caucasus, Says Havel BERLIN, Nov 8, 1999 -- (Agence France Presse) Russian oppression is the "main reason" behind terrorism in the Caucasus, said Czech President Vaclav Havel quoted in next Monday's edition of the German weekly Der Spiegel. Referring to Russia's military operation in Chechnya, he said Russia had for a long time behaved in an arrogant manner towards the people of the Caucasus. "Russian oppression down the years is the main cause of fundamentalism and terrorism in the Caucasus," he added. "I am extremely concerned by Russia's actions in Chechnya and have been for some time," he continued, emphasizing that human rights "are universal and must be respected everywhere." Moscow is conducting air and ground campaigns against Chechnya, which it accuses of harboring terrorists who killed 293 people in Russia in August and September. ((c) 1999 Agence France Presse)
