Yes people made the choice to be brutal murderers, for whatever reason - now if the community retatliates against these murders by becoming murderers themselves. The problem is that this cycle of murder is what is happening in Chechnya, with both sides guilty of being brutal murderers.
In a dirty war such as this both sides have committed acts that can be considered war crimes - Russian soldiers or paramilitaries have committed them, just as the Chechen rebels have. This particular story has only shed light on one aspect of the conflict, and only because of the scope of a string of recent acts.
