Ichkeria in the coalition of the willing? Yesterday chechenpress.com carried a statement by Ilyas Akhmadov, who claims to be the foreign minister of the Chechen Republic-Ichkeria (there is some question as to whether he actually is Maskhadov's representative) supporting Washington in the war in Iraq. This of course is a transparent ploy for Washington's support. But it will offend people like Vanessa Redgrave who have been so supportive of Ichkeria. Tough choices.
