10 Talkbacks for this article
1. Reminds me of the United States
Joshua ,   Israel   (01.30.14)
During WWII, bombing civilian cities killing hundred of thousands. But since it was the USA I guess it was alright. At least Israel tells civilians its going to bomb an area beforehand to minimize casualties.
2. This is what Israel should do for terrorists
Johanna ,   Israel   (01.30.14)
instead of providing the terrorists with a university education and supporting their families.
3. What would one expect from a client state
(01.30.14)
Of tehran? Always moe of the same, Mayham, Violence and MURDER!!!
4. How times change
(01.30.14)
How times change. Just three years ago, the same people who now demand Israel surrender to Obama and PLO demands said that Assad was a visionary and reform leader, and that Israel must surrender the Golan or suffer the consequences. It seems wise to ignore these people.
5. Allies bombed German cities into rubble WWII
Steve   (01.30.14)
The Americans and the British (RAF and USAF) bombed German civilian targets, incinerating nearly one million German civilians. That was the last war won. It looks like the U.S. will allow Iran to multiply hundreds of nukes in the years to come. After Islam has many hundreds of nukes and they use them, there will be no more wars.
6. Joshua # 1
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (01.30.14)
During WW11 we were not stupid enough to fight with one hand tied behind our back. Our military tactics went to Hell in Vietnam and haven't improved. We would fight and die to take some hill and then walk off and leave it. Days or weeks later we would fight and die to take it all over again. We refused to mine Haiphong harbour because it might upset countries like China and Russia. We don't fight like we are serious, we fight like we are playing some silly game. The only objective seems to be to make money for big corporations. I hope Israel never becomes like us as we are today. We used to be good.
7. Imagine Assad would get if he built Jewish Homes
Zionist forever   (01.30.14)
8. Rebels are al Qaeda!
Yechiel   (01.30.14)
HRW is pro al Qaeda terrorist? Pray for the wicked and be their friend. But you still have to fight terror! Your friend Yechiel
9. #1, #5
(01.30.14)
Why is it the pro-Arab Leftists are always anti US? The Germans pioneered strategic bombings at Rotterdam and English cities. They knew when they started that if they lost it would come back to haunt them.
10. rebels are equally as responsible as assad
zionist forever   (01.30.14)
Both sides have to want to go to war if war is going to happen. The rebels were determined to topple Assad and Assad was determined to stay. The rebels earlier on should have sat down with Assad tried to reach an agreement in which he could stay in power for another 5-10 years whilst a new form of government can be created. After his time is up he can be an honey life president thats jut a head of state but no political power and he would have been given a very generous pension. To late for than now and its going to be winner takes all and Assad willow play dirty.
