Yeah frick it, let's kill black kids because they might grow up to be gang members and white kids because they might grow up to be skin heads while we're at it. You can't truly believe that killing children is a good policy
People have lost their minds up in here

At first. Then they mostly settled on Islam.

Let's see:
If countries are bombing terrorists' neighborhoods daily, and I live in a neighborhood that is 90% terrorists, should I expect to be bombed?
If countries are bombing terrorists daily, and I live in a neighborhood with only 1% terrorists, is it more likely that I get bombed than the guy living in a neighborhood with 90% terrorists?
Yes, just move away. There are plenty avenues to go down to get yourself out of that situation and get help. If you wanna live with terrorists, frick you. Here comes the boom. Welcome to the party
As a peaceful civilian, you have a right to your own home. It's wrong to blame the innocent civilian for his own death simply because he did not flee his home in anticipation of an imminent carpet bombing. Maybe he didn't know his neighborhood had become a target. Maybe he had sick/injured family members who couldn't be moved, or he himself was sick/injured and could not move. Maybe his entire city had become a battlefield and he couldn't leave for fear of being mistaken for a combatant and gunned down in the streets.
When you start blaming the civilian for his own death during a carpet bombing, you're treading into dangerous territory. You're assigning blame where it does not belong. The onus is on the nation doing the bombing to reduce the risk of civilian casualties. This is why the US has such strict rules of engagement. The blowback is tremendous when we bomb without concern for the lives of civilians.

The goal of war is total annihilation of the enemy.

Dude, he said that was a comment from the article. He wasn't claiming anything.

You're making the assumption that Raqqa doesn't have neighborhoods full of terrorists, so....

So saying we shouldn't drop bombs on children equals saying the people of ISIS weren't kids during the previous decade is just ignorant? Speaking of hyperbole.

Just that simple!!!

Was it the 2 statements that acknowledged their may be terrorists in the neighborhoods?

It's always entertaining when dumbed-down, narcissistic Americans point their fingers at others.

Oh, I must have missed the part where I said we were currently any better.

I agree. American Millennials hating on their own country while refusing to fix it (and even actively participating in its downfall) is pretty entertaining.

Who is "we"? You got a mouse in your pocket?
I'm not proposing "we" intentionally bomb kids. Just saying that in a total war situation, when you are trying to win, there is collateral damage.
And that it isn't out of character for the Russians to act this way
