Just a guess about the motives of these men.

They are young men who can not find a wife and have no hope of ever finding a wife.

They are poor farmers or laborers in areas with an over abundance of men like themselves and a dearth of young women due to decades of enforcement of single child families.

These men suffer from loneliness and despair of ever having a wife or a family. They see these children go to the nursery schools day after day and eventually are filled with rage and self hatred and decide to end it all in a fury to send a message as best they can to those who put them in this position.

The people in power in our country look to China’s one child policy and think wistfully of such forward thinking decisions.

Your theory sounds very plausible given the circumstances. I only want to ask what the murder rate is in China. Other than the political executions, of course. I mean, is China even close to catching up with us? We are the home of the world's worst serial killers. These guys got nothing on us.

I’m going to guess that they were muslims who wanted to kill non-muslim children, Beslan-style.
