From the sources I've been reading I feel like much more could have been done/could be done to save all these people and prevent minimal civilian losses. I'm worried bc obviously ISIS plays dirty, and all these innocent people will be caught in between. :(

I'm sure a lot more could have been done. But the focus has been to fight ISIS, and these poor people are just getting caught in the middle and screwed over accordingly. D-:

Especially because the Shi'ite militias aren't any better than ISIS.
