Terrorist win or freedom fighters gain objectives?

This is a sign of the real new world order we live in: "Putin, faced with the option of a decade of delay in Russian economic progress or Chechen independence, chose independence. A cease fire was called in October of 2005 to negotiated the referendum. It culminated in the document he was to sign today. Chechnya would be free. Global guerrillas had won." The point is that is financial squeezes that will count. In a world where perhaps national conflicts are rarer it will be non-state groups that are the issue and the vulnerabilities of centralised utilities. If this doesn't wake folk up to the importance of decentralising power production [read "renewables"] what will?
