I posted a good NY Times piece in another thread about how instead of sticking to just condeming this awful terorrist act, people move quickly to talk about the Russian government. Two birds, need two stones and Russian soldiers did not stockpile weapons in a school to massacre children, Chechans did.

If history repeat itself, there will be another "zachistki" which will see men between the ages of 15 and 49 face the threat of theft, beatings, arrest, and murder by Russian soldiers.
According to Jackson Diehl "the campaign by the Russian military and police against Chechnya's separatists has degenerated into a full-fledged dirty war, complete with disappearances, mass graves, systematic torture and summary execution of civilians." Some even called what is going on in Chechnya as mini-genocide.
