Look at the language used when US bombs kill innocent Syrians (or innocent anybody)
This is headline of the Times: "Strikes on Syria Tied to Deaths of 52 Civilians". What does tied mean? Why not say: US bombs killed 52 civilians, a least? Does the paper say: Strikes by the Syrian regime "tied" to the deaths of civilians?
