Just recently, the United States bombed the town of Idlib in Syria, killing 7 civilians, including 5 children. Human rights researchers are calling for the investigation of the bombing because the missile only targeted and killed civilians, not military targets. If the U.S. continues to bomb Syria in oblivion without differentiating between civilians and terrorists, then the statistics of civilian deaths will only increase. This is extremely problematic, because the civilians are supposed to be protected from these bombs, but it seems as though the innocent defenseless Syrian civilians are more in danger, and more likely to be effected by U.S. air strikes than the ISIS targets.
