These having doubts on what is happening in Eastern Ghouta would do good watching the video linked here. In it, you see that even women are guilty of launching rudimentary bombs on Damascus. Their veils use the rebel interpretation of the Syrian flag: Green, Red, Black as opposed to Red, Green, Black the government uses. Although, from their accents, we know these women are Syrians, we do also know that if you are not part of the rebels, your life is worthless. If these women think about their children - much like we like to think they do - they might have a short-sighted view of getting food to their offspring in their minds on the short run.

Fact is, these "hell cannons" are fired quite indiscriminately at targets inside the greater Damascus area where they'll hit innocent citizens more than they'll hurt the government's army protecting the country. These cannons are a far cry away from the precision bombings the Russians tend to use against identified pockets of dangerous resistance throughout Syria. One mustn't forget the Americans too pride themselves on "precision bombs" - they already did so when they started destabilizing the entire region with their "shock and awe"-campaign in Iraq now 15 years ago. Fact is, launching missiles indiscriminately on civilians using rudimentary iPad and compass to target, could be seen as as bad as a precision strike on a rebel stronghold. These women are in the wrong area, held by the wrong group which is supported by the KSA and if they don't "roll" with the current "leaders", they're bound to pay $100 for a kilo of rice. They're in between a rock and a hard place.
Who's right here? Who's wrong?
