It seems there is a strong correlation between bombs and civilian casualties. Likewise, since only women and children are left in Syria's towns (the men have fled to avoid execution or conscription), the proportion of casualties among them is quite high.

We haven't established causation, but based on empirical evidence, may I suggest that

a) increased bombing on behalf of the victims will only lead to more victims, and by corollary,

b) if we just stop bombing altogether then casualties should diminish.

I know it's a little radical, but I just can't shake this fundamental notion that bombs and guns kill people.
