Tonight's posting is a brief one, there's always a lot of war and terror going on around the world, and this Newsweek article is from a Russian journalist on the tragedy in Chechnya in which young people are driven by anger, bitterness and vengeance for lost loved ones to perform suicide bombings against their Russian occupiers. This ongoing occupation in Chechnya, a 'country' near Georgia, has lasted since the late 90s, and resulted in most of this country devastated by warfare and its peoples living in constant discrimination and fear.
This newsletter is just one of several found on http://www.williambowles.info
which contain letters, interviews, news and accounts of the events in Iraq from American soldiers' perspectives, none of which is optimistic. It's quite long, 24 pages on PDF, but worth the read.
