He notes: ... military action could spread from Chechnya to next door neighbor Ingushetia. Not only would this bring senseless killing. destruction. and misery to a new region that is. today. relatively tranquil. it would deny an existing haven to many Chechens who have fled from the daily terrors of their homeland. When I recently visited that region. I went to an Ingusbetian refugee camp for Chechens. mostly women. children and the aged. They do not need another turn in a war zone. � .. the conflict in Chechnya will not continue at its present level. It cannot get better so it will only become worse.
