Re: Chris Doss's "sources"



I, for one, need much more information on the sources of the conflict. 
My
relatively uninformed feeling has me aligning with the Russians again
for
several reasons, first of which is that dissolution of the Soviet
Union,
Balkanization on the grand scale, is itself and has been accompanied by
a
giant step backward in living standards, and I have read, although not
confirmed, that Saudi/Pakistani money and training has been
instrumental in
supporting the separatists.

BTW there is a common opinion in Dagestan that the invasions of the republic were sponsored by the United States in order to1) destablize Russia and 2) discredit Islam. I think this is false, but the opinion does exist.
 
Dagestan is overwhelmingly Muslim.
