"Of course we should go to war for oil. It's like saying, you're going to war just for oxygen, just for food. We need oil. That's a good reason to go to war."

"You should not believe people who say Chechens are not being exterminated. In this Chechen war, it's done by everyone who can do it. There are situations when it's not possible. But when an opportunity presents itself, few people miss it"
[Maura Reynolds - quoting a Russian soldier, (L.A Times), 17sep2000]
