The Amanpour audience candidly exchanged points of view regarding Russia’s effort to crush the roots of separatism. Reform was thought to be needed by most, while the minority felt this was not an “issue of reform” but “political propaganda.” Overall, people debated about individual ideologies, human rights and law enforcement and pointed that Russia’s rejection of democracy and capitalism after a decade, “drove” the country to its actual condition.

I'm afraid there's way too many people on both sides who're interested in keeping the conflict on.

Reform is highly needed to manage to combat insurgency. Russians must do more in this regard.
By Tom Evans; Sr. Writer, AMANPOUR.
(CNN) - On the day a suicide bomber killed two police officers in the Russian republic of Ingushetia, a leading independent journalist in Moscow said the Kremlin will never defeat terrorism if it does not end corruption in law enforcement agencies.
"There is a fundamental problem that doesn't allow Russia to fight terrorism, and that's the awful corruption of the law enforcement forces in Russia," said Yevgenia Albats, chief editor of Russia's New Times magazine. She spoke Monday on CNN's "Amanpour" program.
Albats said Vladimir Putin, then Russia's president and now prime minister, promised democracy in exchange for security back in 2000, but the result was neither democracy nor security.
The bomb in Ingushetia killed two police officers and wounded four others outside a police station in the town of Karabulak. It was the latest in a string of attacks in the North Caucasus region of Russia that have followed a March 29 double suicide bombing on the Moscow subway system.
The Moscow bombing killed at least 40 people and wounded more than 60. A former Chechen rebel who is now advocating global jihad has claimed responsibility for that attack.
The Amanpour audience openly discussed some notorious world issues. Chinese artist Ai Weiwei caused controversy and thought to be “disrespectful” to China according to some of the viewers. Viewers felt that Weiwei “was lucky to be alive” according to the way he chose to continuously express himself. Additionally, the conversation with actor Ben Affleck about Eastern Congo proved popular. Viewers commented Congo needed public awareness. Lastly, the Rwanda crisis continued to be of concern among the majority of viewers who felt President Paul Kagame “was the cause” of Rwanda’s “calamities.” The minority thought Rwanda’s economy was recuperating and it would “come afloat eventually.”

Dear Ms Amanpour,
I caught that interview with Al Weiwei. You know HE (Al Weiwei) is without TRUST & REPSECT for his country & really teaches people to mis-behave! Really he is lucky to be alive and I am on the side of China here! If online advertising companies and other outsiders continue to allow others to show dis-respect where trust can not grow, then peace can not be expected, because of the CODEPENDENCY that Al Weiwei shows, not free agency like he claims!!!!! Using free agency to the point of violence is not what this country is about and neither is China! And will lose China.... Trust & respect Al Weiwei needs to show his country!
Bye for now,
Deni
