Now I'm the one who is confused but how is using artillary on city blocks that much different then flying over them and dropping bombs. Bombs with smaller bombs in them that in fact don't completely explode when they hit the ground so children can find them later.
Besides, it's been proven just how 'smart' the smart bombs are.
And I don't think the U.S. was wagging their finger solely at the Russians tactics anyway.

The American's went out of thier way in Iraq to reduce collateral damage to civilians. but in a war zone this does happen, mistakes and technological failures do happen. Sad but true.
The Russians have gone out of thier way to cause as much havoc and damage to the Chechen's as they can.
Look at the American's performance in Vietnam with thier search and destroy (er sweep and clean) missions where they would go into villages burn them to the ground and forcibly move the villagers. thats very much what the Russians are doing in Chechnya, with the exception that they're not bothering to remove the villagers and townfolks before they burn the cities to the ground
