    Someone needs to stop the relentless killing in Chechnya, enough is enough. Grozny is pretty much obliterated, looking somewhat worse than Fallujah, time for peace is needed and Putin will never bring this.

    I hope for Russia and the countries struggling for independence, can achieve it peacefully in the future without any more blood being spilled.
