Depending on who you ask, the Chechens ARE terrorists. Considering the Chechen wars have been going on since like 1996, I'd say they're fighting their own War on Terror. Islamic terrorism probably hasn't targeted Russia because Russia, for the most part, isn't involved in the middle east. They're also the country with the 2nd largest muslim population. And they oppose the U.S.

Because they remember what happened to the brother of a terrorist who kidnapped a Russian diplomat in Beriut in the mid 1980s: the brother turned-up on the terrorist's doorstep several days after the kidnapping with his guts stuffed in his mouth. The USA can't do that sort of thing to our enemies.

It's not Americans fault that their Government, who by small and large , have in the past and still now support would be " dictators ". It's unfortunate that the majority of American People are not on the same side or agree with their presidents policies, and we have to blame ourselves for voting for Bush because he's a problem for the USA and what the USA wants to accomplish Internationally is not the same views Pres. Bush shares. So I think our first enemy is at home....our own President, Mr. G.W. Bush.

You're misinformed. Russia has some very serious problems with terrorists. Muslims in Russia have blown up planes, bombed subway stations and taken schools and theaters hostage.
The US is not Islam's only target.

Russia isn't getting involved on the world stage anywhere near as much as the USA is.
We're a threat to many terrorist groups, because we try to interfere with their plans. So they hate us for it.

There are numerous terrorist problems in Russia...subway bombings, fighting within the country's borders, etc.
This only goes to 2004, but is a start:

Because the US has a bunch of liberal wimps who like to blame their own country for everything, regardless of the reality of the situation. The Russians won't take the crap we're forced to. The will react quickly and violently to any such attack. What do you expect from a country that learned culture from the Vikings.

It will be decades or longer before Russia sports the kind of democracy we have.
While Americans flaunt their Democracy and all the good it stands for (and well we should!), this angers and enrages the Islamic Fundamentalists, that we would dare to oppose wife beating and Sharia.
Although I think that secretly, deep within their own souls, they're just jealous of what we have.

because russia is not afraid to do racial profiling if they see someone suspicious they will lock them up and interrogate them. we on the other hand will allow them to hide behind the fact that they are arabic and islamic because we wouldnt want to offend those two groups.
