I can’t understand why people keep bombing cities to rubble, then wondering why those left alive don’t like them and might harbour a grudge. It’s not exactly creative problem solving. Some of the language used to describe these actions is particularly offensive - smart bombs causing collateral damage. There’s no such thing as a smart bomb – improved guidance system notwithstanding - and you can’t legitimise the deaths of innocent civilians with a bland phrase.
