Just so you know the IRA have killed plenty of children with their bombing campigns. Admittedly they did not specially target children but they didn't care who they killed. They have bombed London buses, Harrods department store during Christmas rush hour, Manchester City Centre, the market town of Omagh etc.
Anyway, what the Russians have done in Chechnya has been truly awful. Entire towns have been destroyed by indiscriminate bombing, food, medicine and other aid has been cut off, the Russian soldiers have murdered, raped and tortured the people there.
I believe the people responsible for the terrorist attacks at the school should be tried and executed - but I also think the West should stop looking the other way and condemn Putin for his previous actions in Chechnya. As the conflict in Ireland has shown the only way to stop the bombings is to negotiate.
