"giving them names only lends them credibility. i prefer to call them what they are: worthless piles of human filth."
If they had just risen from their beds one morning and decided on a whim to slaughter people wholesale I might, just might agree with that sentiment but they did not. I dont agree with the way they are waging their war but I can see how they have arrived at their decision. These are women whose menfolk have been killed by the power which dominates them. They are under occupation and their land has been devastated by Russia. Grozny has been levelled. Literally. Whne the Russians had finished their destructive rampage you could stand on one side of the city and more or less look to the other side unobstructed by buildings. The women who are known as the black Widows have sufffered loss on a huge scale. Many of them have lost multiple members of their families. Does that make it right that they engage in terrorist attacks on civilians? That's a question to be argued. But to merely dismiss them as worthless filth is to deny the pain they have suffered at the hands of Russia. What is happening in Russia now is what happens to a country who imposes it's will violently upon people who consider themselves to be seperate and independant. Putin and his government are responsible for the chaos which has been unleashed upon the Russian people as much as they are responsible for the chaos they unleashed upon the Chechens Anyone who wishes to know why these people are engaging in such a terrible and violent struggle might find this website interesting A photo Essay from Chechnia Following the Progress of the Russian front The Chechnya Page Last edited by DanaC; 09-01-2004 at 06:47 PM. |
