There are some genuinely awful people in the world. It's just my opinion, but I don't think you were better off not knowing. Happier, maybe. But I'm a persistent believer that knowledge, however unpleasant, is better than ignorance.
Now, as to whether the internet is a good idea, I'd have to say it's still up in the air.
So white, at the border they just laugh and wave you through when you reach for your passport. So white, you confidently, and, without fear, reach for your glovebox when pulled over by the cop.
Actually, I could locate Chechnya (but not Dagestan) on a map -- particularly if you spot me Grozny -- but I wouldn't claim even basic comprehension, much less expertise. As best I understand it, the Chechen [freedom fighters / terrorists] have spent the last two decades in a [struggle for self-determination / terrorist campaign] against Russian [sadistic oppressors / patriotic peacekeepers].
Leaving the mad-libs for a moment, it does seem to be true that both Chechens and Russians have committed some pretty atrocious acts against civilians.

That&#039;s all I know.
I&#039;m not sure we had a lot of choice about &quot;letting&quot; Putin invade Chechnya. Geography is a bitch.
