It's really quite simple - but people tend to overthink:

"During WWI, 10% of all casualties were civilians.

During WWII, the number of civilian deaths rose to 50%.

During the Vietnam War, 70% of all casualties were civilians.

In the War in Iraq, civilians account for up to 90% of all deaths.

The killing of civilians and willfully causing great suffering is a war crime.

- Fourth Geneva Convention, 1949"

Anti-War / Ceasefire / Diplomatic Resolution is the ONLY answer - because the MIC and their cronies / sycophants are getting better-and-better at wholesale, indiscriminate slaughter OF CIVILIANS for PROFIT.
