Actually the US has already given it's diplomatic support to the Russians using whatever means are needed to combat terrorism in Chechnya... back in 01' to be exact; it was part of the political and diplomatic wrangling following 9/11.
The hardline stance by Putin hasn't helped the situation; it can actually be argued that his policy in the region has actually worsened the situation.
