    I just don’t understand why they bother to go after civilians. Like the military I could understand, heck even political buildings…but civilians don’t have a say in political matters. It’s not like the Russian government cares about its civilians all that much either? Maybe I’m ignorant to a larger picture, but I just don’t see how this benefits ISIS in any way.

      It’s terrorism, the goal is to make as big a deal as possible. “Regular” military combat events don’t have nearly as big an impact on people’s lives.
