With Russia's inability to improve conditions in Chechnya and the
international community's failed attempts to negotiate a diplomatic
resolution to the conflict, Islamic extremism in Chechnya is
growing precipitously and risks spilling over into the neighboring
republics of Ingushetia, Dagestan and Kabardino-Balkaria and the
neighboring country of Georgia. The question this paper addresses,
therefore, is: does the unresolved Chechen conflict and the spread
of Islamic extremism warrant U.S. intervention? As this paper's
analysis of the conflict demonstrates, the answer to this question
is a resounding -yes. In fact, this paper argues that if the United
States does not use its influence to resolve the Chechen conflict
and thus preempt the growth of Islamic extremism in the North
Caucasus, Chechnya risks devolving into a major front in the GWOT.
The only thing that keeps Chechnya from morphing into a major front
in the GWOT today is the secular Chechen separatist leadership that
continuously struggles to control, with varying degrees of success,
the rebellious Islamic extremist faction within its movement. The
pro-Moscow Chechen security and Russian military forces'
heavy-handed tactics and almost daily human rights abuses against
the Chechen people do not help the already volatile situation. The
only nation capable of reversing the downward spiral of Chechnya
into a major front in the GWOT is the United States. The United
States, as a close GWOT ally and economic partner to Russia, has
the influence to negotiate an end to the Chechen conflict and deter
the Islamic extremists' aspirations of a greater Islamic state in
the North Caucasus. This paper recommends the following six-point
peace initiative as a framework from which the United States can
intervene to resolve the Chechen conflict: Six Point Peace
Initiative. 1. Define the Threat: The United States needs to engage
the Russian and Chechen leaders by first brokering an agreement on
the definition of the threat in
