Hostage-Taking - Is this Terrorism or a Legitimate Operation? (OP)
After months of having thousands of women and children being killed , tortured and raped - a group of fighters storm a hospital , take over a thousand hostages and threaten to blow it up if the war isnt stopped.
They get what they want from the hostage-taking which is a ceasefire and use it as a platform to end the brutal war a few months later.
Is the hostage-taking an act of terrorism??? Or a legitimate operation to end the murder of their people?
Keeping in mind that before the hostage-taking tens of thousands of women and children had been killed and raped - the hostage-taking stopped this mass-murder.
Before the hostage-taking a brutal war against a whole nation was happening - the hostage-taking stopped this too.
What do you think?
(I am referring to this one particular hostage-taking incident in the Russian town of Buddenyvosk)
ok, so i see people are justifying taking chldren hostage and killing them huh?
and they blame the russians for this.. because God Forbid the russians are the ones that went in the school, dragged the kids, and blew their heads off!
i too support a free checheyna.. but NEVER in a violent way. never in a way where i would say it's ok to kill innocent children to simply "prove a point."
and to VPB - yes, we do have different mindests. mine is peaceful, yours is violent. and yours shouldn't be tolerated under any curcumstances.
i'm sorry, but you just don't take innocent people as hostage. you don't bloame innocent people for the actions of the government. were these innocent people the ones who hurt the chechens? no.
and btw, before people make a racket saying "oH! america kills the iraqi citizens!" yeah, i know that. but i don't support the war in iraq. so i shouldn't be held accvountable and be blamed for something that i don't support. so don't try and do that here. it's happened too many times.. people on this board trying to blame all non muslim americans for the actions of our government. ridiculous.
just because someone does something wrong, that doesn't give anyone the right to do it to them in return. someone has to draw the line. because if they don't.. well, think about it. russians will freel that they have the right to hurt the chechens. the chechens feelthey have the right to hurt the russians. they will continue to do this, because it's "payback." if someone doesn't give up.. well, there will be never ending mass death.
and to the person who said "there have been reports of Christians killing muslim children." so because a few idiotic "Christians" do that, that gives the chechens the right to do it in return?
CPB, that kind of mindset shouldn't be toelrated. because it justifies terrorism. you might not think it's terrorism. but it is.
