Boris Yeltsin and Vladimir Putin only managed to kill 200,000 Chechens (out of a total population of a million) to prevent Chechnya, and its oil, from separating from the Russian Federation. In Chechnya, as in virtually every other locale in the Moslem world, religious nuts survived the killing of the more-or-less-secular opposition and are thriving.

All that the rulers of the world have left to prevent such insurrections now is genocide, which will certainly be coming soon. That Moslem victims of Moslem religious nuts will perish in the slaughter, too, will be adjudged, in Madeline Albright's words, an acceptable cost. Until then Americans must be terrified by front-page reports of the practices of Moslem religious nuts, and the terror that transpires in American prisons will continue to go unreported.
