Who Persuaded Chechen Rebels To Target A School And Kill Children (You'll Be Shocked By The Answer)


Why did the Chechen rebels, fighting for their own independence, target a Russian school - and kill Russian schoolchildren?

Strategically it seems a crazy thing to do. The Chechens have a pretty good case. On a moral basis they have just as much right to global support as, say, the people of Kosova or the Iraqis who were `liberated' by the British and Americans.

Admittedly, the Chechens have had little public support for their fight for independence. Their battle against oppression and ethnic cleansing has been widely ignored by a media obsessed by the activities of the Beckhams and Big Brother contestants.

But surely killing children means that they are even less likely to win? Where on earth could the Chechens have got such a crazy notion? What on earth could have possessed them to behave in such an evil way?

You've got three guesses.

And the three answers are: America, Israel and Britain.

America, Britain and Israel have, for some time now, been deliberately targetting children.

America and Israel use land mines, cluster bombs and other explosive devices deliberately designed to kill or maim children. Britain, as America's new best friend and partner in crime, must share the responsibility and the shame.

* The Americans and British have deliberately fired cluster bombs into civilian areas. The hundreds of individual bomblets contained in a cluster bomb are scattered over a wide area. They have shiny casings to attract children and each 1,000 pound cluster bomb contains up to 300 little bombs which look like small toys. Many don't explode when they are dropped - exploding only when they are picked up by small children. Experts believe that cluster bombs violate the rules of war.

* Blair's American allies deliberately bombed Iraq's water supplies in the First Gulf War and then, for years afterwards, refused permission for water purification equipment to be installed in Iraq. The result of this was that, according to the United Nations, around one million Iraqi citizens - including 500,000 children - died slow and painful deaths.

* Three children (one aged 13) were among the 680 innocent people held at America's illegal prison camp at Guantanamo Bay. Blair did nothing to stop this war crime.

* The Israelis fired internationally banned flechette shells (which explode into thousands of razor sharp darts) at a children's soccer field in Gaza. Boys were playing on the field at the time.

The evil idea behind all this is that if you maim and kill children you demoralise the adult population and make them easier to control.

The Chechens, having learnt from Bush and Blair, clearly believe that if they upset the Russians and create anger and outrage within Russia then Putin will lose power. And, if Putin loses power then his replacement may give the Chechens the independence and freedom they want.

What the Chechens did in Russia was unforgiveably wrong.

But they were following the example set by Bush, Blair and Sharon.

Bush and Blair should adopt the slogan `Kill Children And Win Wars'.

It's what they do.

And it's what they are teaching the rest of the world.
