What do you argue about, friends!

After my arrival to Europe being a permanent reader of Chechen sites, I did not think, that sometime I would write about what disturbed me and surprised. But recently I have read some articles and interviews of the so-called politicians of Ichkeria.

The article of Temishev Musa, the works of whom I know since the period of time, when he worked in the governmental newspaper "Ichkeria"; since the pre-war time I know him as a good critic, happened to be the first one, which I read. After one of his critiques against the President of the ChRI J. Dudaev he was dismissed, and then I heard nothing about him.

In his article "New steps of the Kremlin family" he criticizes everyone and everything, and has named the session of the State Defense Committee Madjlisul - Shura to be a "mess". Before the beginning of the Second Russo-Chechen war in the Chechen Republic a certain figure - Hoj-Ahmad Kadyrov "explained" us, that he had found an explanation of the word Shura in ten different sources. But even he could not guess to name Shura to be a "mess".

It seemed to be pleasant to me, that from all modern figures of Ichkeria, there was though one person, about whom it spoke well. In the article he accuses Ahyad Idigov of inactivity, but names him to be "the only one, who has not sold himself", and calls him with the adherents in the Chechen Parliament for action; he says, that Chechen petrol-barons, who live in the West, are ready to give money for this work, certainly, in hope for the future reckoning of their merits.

It would be desirable to suggest to Temishev, if he knows about this readiness, and Idigov does not, taking money from them and to give it to the Parliament - in hope, that in the future it will be reckoned.

The second article, which I read, was the one of the deputy of the Chechen Parliament Bekhan: "Do not search, friends, an elephant on your tails", where he abuses his colleague in the Parliament Shahgiriev Apti, in reply to his interview published in the site "Chechen.org", and at the same time also others, except for Hanbiev, Zakaev and some more people. And, the charges against Shahgiriev were reduced to that, ostensibly, he was a polygamist, and also that he left his family and arrived to Europe .

By the way, I had never heard about Shahgiriev, but after perusal of the article of the deputy Bekhan, I found and read his interview, and also was afflicted, that I had not found anything interesting in it except for, as it seemed to me, one Don Kihot was going to struggle with windmills. And it is a sin to speak about his polygamy, in fact a Moslem is not forbidden to have 4 wives. Everything looks like denying of the Islamic right by Bekhan.

I found characteristics of Temishev Musa in Bekhan's article, and, as I had thought earlier, a pleasant fact with dithyrambs of Temishev to Idigov seemed to be doubtful to me. Whether Musa Temishev purposefully praises him, so that the people, who know him well, would think it over? The explanation of why Temishev praises Idigov, I found in the article of the deputy of the Parliament Bekhan.

Knowing Idigov by his articles and speeches as a fair person, who has not changed his point of view for this time, and serving for the independence of Ichkeria, the application of deputy Bekhan to Idigov about his, as it seems to him, "unclear role" in the company of "mankurts" seemed to be unclear to me. Now I have realized that Temishev tried to achieve exactly such suspicions about Idigov. He decided to compliment Idigov to insinuate people, for it is said, "Tell me, who your friend is, and I shall say, who you are".

Also it would be desirable to say about the unclear role of Temishev and Bekhan in this eagerness to hang labels. Reading all these articles and interviews, it seems to me, that some of these people, being in the West, hasten to designate themselves, like animals, which mark their territory, counting upon the future dividends.

Also it would be desirable to ask: What moral right do we have, being far from the Native land, not knowing the real situation to incur the responsibility, and to discuss actions of the people carrying out unequal struggle against the ruthless enemy? Why do not some our politicians and public figures direct all their eagerness, with which they argue among themselves, at upholding of independence of Ichkeria?
