I read and enjoyed your article on the political and historical issues in Russia's assault on Chechnya. It seems to me that the rise of Islamic fundamentalism is a much bigger part of the problem than you admit though. I have no axe to grind. I am just trying to get a perspective on things. I'd appreciate your observations.
