Has anyone actually asked the rude question, "Why the hell don't you troops do something about this?" of the fellows in charge? Who gave the orders not to interfere? Why did no-one have the initiative to prevent all that? Someone must have answers. As it is, I am saddened but not really surprised. And the military (U.S. and U.K.) should not be surprised either; this sort of thing happens in chaotic times - so they should have been ready with their orders & strategies, to save and protect, mind you, not stand by impotently. I lay most of the blame directly on the military command.
