True. The Russians did what everbody does, including the U.S., which is invade
others. I would have to look into why Chechnya became their Vietnam. I think
even on an individual scale we all invade others. How many people don't know
the best way to run other people's lives?
Last summer there was an excellent IMAX featuring the work of Jane Goodall. In
addition to discovering traits in chimps that led to the need to redefine the
word "human", theretofore defined as the ability to use tools, Jane Goodall
discovered that chimps, who share something like 99% of our genes, have not
only culture (yes, culture)but they also fight wars. She watched as two
warring tribes literally exterminated every last member in both groups. Still,
my point was that the Russians refrained from starting a nuclear disaster,
which is, to me, saying a lot.
No time for more,

This doesn't seem to be stopping them from pursuing a horrendous war in
Chechnya.
