It's clear this is about revenge against an invader.
Waging was to capture "hearts and minds" very rarely works. There's always going to be massive collateral damage in the best of conflicts, and people are not going to take the needless deaths of loved ones easily.

In the back of my mind, I still fear the long term repercussions of hundreds of wedding and birthday parties, family trips to market, and other normal daily activities that were interrupted by "mistaken" shellings and drone strikes.
War is Hell. And those who decide to start a war deserve to rot in Hell.
