Chechens are Muslims. Muslims, especially devout Muslims, feel extreme kinship towards other Muslims, regardless of ethnicity. Therefore, they greatly resent US drone strikes and bombs that kill Muslim civilians. Their web sites and news media are full of graphic descriptions of deaths of Muslim women and children killed by US actions. After witnessing two (probably) amateur kids tie up in knots a major US metropolitan area, causing many tragic casualties as well as hundreds of millions in economic damage, I wonder whether we should radically rethink our engagements abroad, especially in Muslim countries.
