No. You burn the nest and kill the vipers, no matter their age. The enemies of our children are being born in our lands right now, even as you read this. These same children will one day become teens, then adults, voting against the wishes of our people, practicing the cultural and religious practices of the invaders, taking our peoples lands, work, houses and even attacking and killing our children. A ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Preventing these enemies from reaching adulthood and their full potential of effect is of the importance. Why make your children fight, when you could fight in their stead?''

Then, order all the generals and governor to lead their troops in every direction, kill all the people in the prefectures, counties, and cities, and burn their houses. Send troops to every hill and every village, whether night or day, massacre them all. Establish rewards: Anyone who chops more than 200 pairs of men's hands or 400 pairs of women's will be promoted, young children don’t count… When this is done, all of Sichuan will become a red land where natives cannot gather. Other who seek to conquer it would realise they can’t keep it when they see the smoke and the overgrown grass.''

Rather the insurgents were attempting to impose radical Islamist rule upon populations who wanted no part of it, and who wished to continue their practice of traditional North Caucasian Islam as citizens of the Russian Federation. Those invasions involved approximately 2,000 insurgents, resulted in dozens of deaths, destroyed communities, displaced 32,000 Dagestanis, and were potentially genocidal in that they attacked mountain villages accommodating entire populations of small ethno-linguistic groups."
