"Words are but the bannerets of a great army, a few bits of waving color here and there; thoughts are the main body of the footman that march unseen below."

It is not advantageous for Russia in its present state to fight against Chechnya. The army is a mess. It must be made combat ready. That will take time. Russia has a lot of economic, social and political problems much more important than Chechnya.
