Just what I wanted to hear!

I have to hand it to Pres. Maskhadov. Noy only did he condemn the Beslan massacre (good, but not enough), he has publicly called for trying Shamil Basayev in a court of law for the murder of the innocent children in Beslan, once the war is over. He has also called on the international community to try all war criminals from all sides.

Yes, the overwhelming majority of muslims, (not just extreme lefties at MWU!, or GOP sell-outs like Nawash), but also moderates, traditionalists, political pan Islamists, and nationalists like Maskhadov are as horrified by Beslan as anybody else. We just hope that the Chechen people also get some sort of justice - stop the genocide! Basayev's actions and remarks were offensive, irresponsible and immoral.
