Tell you why the human race has a terminal existence, we always believe that the only way to end a firefight is with more fire.
That, and the fact that time and time again we never learn the lessons that History puts in front of us.
I'm absolutely ecstatic the government was defeated last night. The last thing a society on its arse needs is sending more of its young, working class lads to their death in a far away land. Oh and what is it they say about how to boost the economy in a recession? War? What is it good for? I think you can guess....
There are also some smack bang in your face facts which should, if you have an ounce of intelligence, be reading loud and clear.
..Assad...the same fella who we traded arms with over years, who was welcomed by our ruling elite into Buckingham palace and who was recommended for a knighthood!?!? Now, the political elite decide he wasn't quite worthy of his pedestal position of a few years back.
And strike militarily against Assad, topple his regime and replace him with who?? The so called 'opposition'...the same opposition that have murdered hundreds of the other ethnic minorities within Syria other than Muslim?...The same opposition who rip the hearts out of opposition soldiers and eat them with their livers putting them on Youtube along with the beheadings of clerics, priests and elders?..
No one knows what is truly going on in Syria. The United Nations cannot provide any conclusive evidence surrounding the chemical weapons use. Remember what happened last time we went forward without their seal of legitimacy?
If we strike against Syria it will be over a dozen muslim countries we have engaged militarily in the last decade. Think about that the next time some fundamental lunatic crashes a lorry into an embassy or blows themselves up on a London bus.
It's easier to radicalise when we give them grounds to do so.
