Civilian Casualties in War - shock horror!

The phoney war against Isil in Mosul is brought home by the reaction of horror by the western media to the civilian casualties possibly caused by the US. The second world war would have been lost if that attitude prevailed but that was before the decadence of the West and had set in and its Vietnam Syndrome dictated foreign policy  and it also explains why this phoney war against Jihadism is going on forever.Our soft liberal values prevent us from defeating the enemy and a bit of honesty about this would be welcome.
