The bombing suspects in Boston (one of whom is dead) are now being described as brothers from Chechnya. What the HELL???? Why would Chechens bomb BOSTON?????
Chechnya is an Islamic country. They could be part of the Islamic lunatic fringe.
Now, note I said the lunatic fringe. I don't think that Moslems are all crazed lunatics. But Al Qaeda members certainly are, and they don't all live in Saudi Arabia.
Why would Chechens bomb Boston? Because they have been residents of Cambridge for 11 years. My question was WHY did they bomb and shoot up the area at all. The younger one has been here since he was 7 years old. You'd think he would be happy to live/grow up somewhere safer than his original home. But an interview with their Uncle on the radio confirms that fitchwitch is correct, and these two are just bad business all the way around. yup. Lunatic fringe.
Doesn't necessarily surprise me....
