glad rag,
Whilst the Russians are 'carpet bombing' and the Regime are barrel bombing, the 'moderate' opposition aren't entirely in the clear thanks to their use of their improvised howitzer, Jahannam or Hell Cannon, that due to their lack of precision targeting capability means they just launch into areas of towns and cities.
I sort of see why they do this, its a rag tag Dad's Army affair, but it's still not the discriminate bombing we would practice. The bottom line is that this is a very messy affair where there is no black and white only very grubby shades of grey, and the line between what we in the west might view as acceptable and unacceptable is dotted and shifts frequently. If the politicians are expecting a clean and clinical war, I'm afraid they need to brace themselves for an alternate reality.
