Re: Putin



Shamil did not "rule" Chechnya and Dagestan. Nobody rules Chechnya and Dagestan. They are clan societies (except for the Russian minority and maybe the Mountain Jews -- who I'm sure just love Islamist fighters!). Dagestan doesn't even have a president.
 
Instead of drawing vague analogies to other situations and citing the sacred texts, why don't you discuss the actual situation in the North Caucasus? I mean discuss it yourself, not posting lexus-nexused (is that a word?) articles? I want to see some evidence that you understand the complexities of the North Caucasus situation.
