@ Don Reto Nay I absolutely agree with you that the terrorists must be extinguished, because along with the Islamic militants, the Syrian rebels and the West they want to remove the moderate Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Another problem is that the West now also supports the Turkish government and does nothing against the brutal attacks of Erdogan's army against the Kurds in Afrin.

If the Kurds were terrorists, as the Turkish government always claims, then the Syrian government would not protect the Kurds, because the Kurds are the strongest allies against the IS terrorists.

@Don Reto Nay: Yes, I think that is one of the reasons why the Syrian government wants to drive out the anti-government rebels, although there is no justification to bomb the rebels as long as innocent children are among them.
>>>The Damascus government and Russia, its key ally, say they only target militants. They have said they seek to stop mortar attacks injuring dozens in the capital, and have accused insurgents in Ghouta of holding people as human shields.<<<
