The Terrorism between Chencnya and Russia has no relation to us and is none of our affairs. We didn't do anything to cause or prevent this, it's entirely their internal ballpark.

It would also be a very dangerous and stupid move to try giving any kind of military/anti-terrorism aid to Russia right now. This is because-
-we would become targets and we're not prepared to face the kind of terrorism these people are capable of
-It would be a serious insult to Russia because we would basically be telling them we don't think they can control their own country. This isn't generic third party terrorism, it's undeclared civil war.
-Our resources are spread too thin as is.
-Russia will be more brutal to the terrorists than we would be and I think that's closer to justice. For example, the arrests. We would arrest, imprison, and question the people associated with the attack. Russia kicks down their door and puts two bullets in their face. Seriously, none of the organizers of this who have been 'arrested' so far made it out the door alive.
