Must not flame.......
1. They're very, very desperate.
And what did they hope to gain? International scorn? No they are cruel, they are evil, and they are quite stupid apparently.
2. The Russians have killed countless chechyn children, possibly indirectly (starving, etc.).
Countless being the key word, (and any count will be inflated). They targeted a school because it was an easy target and would have a nice emotional effect. Their problem of course is that Russia doesn't play games with terrorists and the terrorists knew this going in. They knew they would be killing children.
3. More people would hear their cause if they attacked a school, which would eventually lead them to know about 1 and 2.
Oh we heard about it all right. Personally if Putin decided to level their pathetic little country right now I wouldn't care, so again I don't think it has the desired effect. If anything it rallied the Russian people, and if there is one thin history has told us is don't give Russians a good cause for revenge.
Look around the world and face it, Islamic states and movements do not play well with others. Make all the excuses you want, but in the end there is no excuse.
