If it won;t do any good, why do it?<br /><br />I'm sure that other countries aren't doing anything warlike... Is Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Ireland?<br /><br />The notion that Cameron has that they must be seen to be doing something, is stupid, unless he can show that what he is going to do is going to make a difference... a positive difference.<br /><br />Like Saddam or Qaddafi, Assad is a horrible dictator, BUT, firstly, he has been providing a reasonable standard of living and a reasonably secure society. And secondly it doesn't seem to occur to the West that these disparate countries, made up of various sects, tribes and nationalities NEED a strong and unyielding leader.<br /><br />Norwegian style democracy wouldn't work... as we see everywhere they have attempted to install it (albeit with their own man in charge).<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-7209792804093070052015-11-27T20:57:22.873+00:002015-11-27T20:57:22.873+00:00Frankie goes WHERE ???!?!

I agree with their stance. But what I want to see is a real alternative to air strikes. I can't think of one, except to bite the bullet and support Assad. For all his faults, he is not sending suicide bombers into European cities,<br /><br />The Western powers are the cause of many problems in the Middle East, but not all of them. But however we have got to where we are, the current problem does need dealt with.
