Saying that bombing Chechnya is immoral will not get disagreements from
anyone. Just because people are not stating the obvious, it doesn't mean
that they think it is ok. I disagree with your conclusion. As far as
protesting goes, what are you talking about? Writing letters to Moscow?
Picketing in the US? Let's get real.
