From OP: 8. "... two of the greatest butchers of our time, Aslan Maskhadov and Shamil Basayev, both deceased even though the organization they built fights on. The foreign minister and ambassador for this terrorist group is Ilyas Khamzatovich Akhmadov (born December 19, 1960, who was granted political asylum in the United States in 2003. Akhmadov's patron is none other than Zbigniew Brzezinski, the former head of the National Security Council during the Jimmy Carter administration and, before that the co-founder with David Rockefeller of the Trilateral Commission in 1973. Zbigniew Brezezinski in turn is not only the main foreign policy adviser to the Barack Obama presidential campaign;... Zbigniew's nephew Matthew Brzezinski serves as a de facto public relations representative for Akhmadov, whitewashing this envoy for Chechen terrorists in the pages of the Washington Post. "
(My bold)
Basayev was a killer, right enough. Maskhadov was Chechen, a general in the USSR Army, & a decorated military leader. He was trying desperately to negotiate an end to the crisis with Russia & then to the wars, right up until he was killed by a Russian missle homing in on his sat (?) phone in the mountains. The history quoted in the OP is v. lop-sided, & Brzezinski & Haig simply - on evidence - want to put a finger in the Russians' eyes.
Russia, the USSR & now Russia again have been fighting for four centuries to crush the Chechens (& the Caucasus in general). They may manage it this time, after the endless fights & skirmishes, the uprooting of the population to Siberia during WWII, & now 2 wars. It amounts to genocide, & the Chechens will not go down quietly. Grozny & all other population centers, & most of the villages, have been leveled by Russian troops & contract killers - think Blackwater with even less restraint. Spetznatz are also in use, & the two books below claim that the Russians emptied their prisons of their worst cases, & allow them to serve in "pacification" campaigns in Checnya. Rape, torture, indiscriminate murder, theft, & a scorched-earth policy are what the Chechens can expect.
