 Crisis in Chechnya - Global Issues
Russia never accepted Chechnya as a separate republic and was determined not to encourage other areas to secede (perhaps similar to how many have pointed out that western imperial countries were trying hard to prevent “their” colonies from breaking free in the aftermath of the Second World War);
Slowly Grozny and other parts of Chechnya were being pounded and destroyed, while civilian population were caught in the middle of the conflict.
But Chechnya is a shameful example of western leaders refusing to confront another government on human rights abuses and war crimes because, in the end, strategic and political issues matter more.

 The War in Chechnya - MN-FILES - MOSNEWS.COM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Chechnya was given de facto independence in January 1997, when Russia recognized Maskhadov’s government following his victory in Chechen presidential elections.
Chechnya’s formal status as a sovereign republic was not resolved, however, with Russia recognizing Chechnya as an autonomous republic within Russia, and with Maskhadov’s government claiming independence and calling the newly formed state the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.

Chechnya is located in the mountainous Caucasus region between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, a land-locked area bordered by the Russian republics of Dagestan and Georgia.
Chechnya languished in discord and dissention until 1994, when Russia proposed autonomy agreements with the breakaway republics of Chechnya and Tatarstan.
Caught between intractable foes, Chechen civilians have paid the greatest costs in the decade-old conflict, suffering severe human rights abuses from all sides, being forced to flee their homes for relative safety, watching their country be destroyed and, of course, dying.

 Chechnya - What drives the separatists to commit such terrible outrages? By Masha Gessen

The question of what we would do with Mexico City once we took it is a question that, in the heat of the war hysteria, a good number of Americans failed to ask themselves, – but by the time rationality set in, and cooler heads prevailed, it was already too late.
The last Russian war to regain Chechnya ended in defeat, and that is likely to be the ultimate result of this latest misadventure – which seems, perversely, to be a bizarre attempt to avenge the "honor" of the Russian military, at least in part, and which will wind up achieving the exact opposite.

The problem with Chechnya, more or less, is that the Russians tried to surrender after their failure to bring the rebellious republic back into the fold in the first Chechen war and it didn't work.
In 1999, Khattab and his "Islamic International Brigade" used Chechnya as a base from which to invade the neighboring Russian republic of Dagestan (summarized here by GlobalSecurity) as part of a long-term al-Qaeda strategy to export the Chechen political culture to the rest of the Caucasus.
Chechnya was devastated, its government was incapable of controlling the country, and it descended into chaos.
