Chechen terrorist Shamil Basayev now has the same stature as Osama bin Laden

Putin's ploy of blaming "international terrorists" for the Beslan terrorism was demolished on Friday when Shamil Basayev, a warlord from Chechnya, posted a statement on the internet taking full credit for the series of terrorist acts which brought down two passenger planes, killed hundreds of children and adults, and caused the Russian people to demand justice and revenge.

Russian President Vladimir Putin had blamed "international terrorists" for the acts, since blaming Chechen terrorists would have further inflamed Russia's southern provinces, possibly to a major regional war.

However, Basayev is determined to inflame the situation as much as possible. For reasons we've described, Basayev's goal actually is to start a war.

Basayev was born in Chechnya in 1965, and was raised by a generation that had just returned to the region after being exiled by Stalin to Kazakhstan and Siberia.

In terms of Generational Dynamics, Basayev is in the powerful and alienated "Nomad" generation, the second generation following a crisis war. Osama bin Laden, born 1957 in Saudi Arabia, is in that country's "Nomad" generation. In today's America, the "Nomad" generation is Generation X, born during the turmoil of the 1960s and 70s. Their alienation turns to fury and their power turns them to taking revenge for whatever wrongs their parents reluctantly accepted.

As we've said, the Caucusus is the most dangerous region in the world. The Beslan terror incident has caused Putin to threaten to make preemptive strikes on terrorists, even in other nations, and this has most frightened Georgia, Turkey and other nations in the Caucasus region.

This region has been the site of numerous major ethnic and religious wars for centuries. Generational Dynamics predicts another major war is to come, and we can see how the that war seems to approach closer every day. (19-Sep-04) Permanent Link
