Quote A report by Amnesty International accuses the Popular Protection Units (YPG) of razing entire villages after capturing them from Islamic State (IS).
This appeared to be in retaliation for residents' perceived sympathies with or links to the jihadist group, it says. The YPG is a key ally of the US-led international coalition against IS. Well that's working out well.. Edited by oldcodger (13 Oct 2015 8.35am)

Syrians fleeing Russian airstrikes tell Sky News civilians are being targeted and they do not know who is on their side.

I've posted this picture many times before.. but it is so apt. The middle east has been a hotbed of violence, corruption, squalor and confusion for centuries. Mad Mullahs, Mahdi's and Ayatollah's presiding over hordes of tribesmen and traders each trying to gain control over sandy enclaves. We should just bomb the fcuk out of all of it and then put a 10 metre high fence around it for decades then re-open it as a theme park.

But only this morning the paper was telling me about russians bombing the 'moderate' rebels, are you saying this is untrue?
