15080 [lbo-talk] Doug and Lieven -- rank: 46

Doug, when you interview Lieven and Beslan, could you make a point of bringing up the origins of the war, the attacks on Dagestan and the kidnap-slave trade? My experience is that almost nobody in the West knows about these things. Also, if it's not too presumptuous of me ...
