Don't mix the issues.
The problem is: the two other superpowers say "NO - stop immediately".
Something's going wrong here.
Also. Chechnya is a major thorn in the side of Putin. Here in EU we have regular updates on the situation there. Don't think we (as in EU countries) even support the killing which took place there. EU council firmly condemned the actions of Russia in Chechnya (enough said, i won't dive into that side of the story).
But Putin is way more clever at diplomacy than Bush administration....

"But the UN said yes. So are you or are you not going to agree with the UN? Who cares what Saddam wants, its not his call."
It's called *diplomacy*. Each side must do some efforts. The UN was ready to discuss. The USA werent.
