I live in the real world Julia, please tell when the last military intervention in any North African or Middle Eastern country with or without invitation has resulted in peace. Never is the answer. Top UK & US Military have said there was no rationale in Assad using CW. He'd won

Sierra Leone.

You are joking, aside from the fact that it is in West Africa, not North Africa. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-14094419 … Country still in extreme poverty 17 years after major civil war, and further problems in 2016.

Not only that, but it insults leaders with real moral courage who have to make the hard calls and operate beyond cliches and bromides

Moral courage
#youhavinalaugh -
Yes, to make tough calls and not hide behind empty conditions and alibis. To tell Syrians that U.K. will act only if UN does, when Security Council is paralyzed because of Russia, is the height of cynicism - Corbyn as usual
-
Sorry but you implied
@realDonaldTrump and@theresa_may had moral courage. I personally cannot accept that either of them even understand morality#wall#yemen#atos#refugees -
No, Trump has no courage, moral or otherwise. My point is Corbyn’s oily excuses for doing nothing and pretending to have morality on his side
-
I mean he could always ask why
@theresa_may refused to accept the UKs burden of refugees while hell bent on creating thousands more with here. Real moral courage... -
You are absolutely right on accepting refugees. But you are wrong on the creation of the problem, because it isn’t the West’s pinprick strikes that caused so many to flee but Assad’s butchery
-
Never said it was just the west creating refugees but just dropping bombs on a foreign land and washing your hands of the aftermath doesn’t exactly tie with my understanding of “moral courage”

Will only work if every other country was lead by the same mindset....but they aren't.
-
Corbyn knows that as well. For a so called man of principle, he cynically panders to his followers (and his own) prejudices

Yeah. Because bombing the Middle East has always worked so well in the past. A litany of success - Iraq, Libya ... oh, hang on.

I think you are missing the point, if you have a bad experience a few times with alcohol it doesn't mean you then have to go teetotal for life. It just means you have to be far more careful, responsible with your usage.
-
Yes... careful, responsible... I like that. Does bombing a country that poses no direct threat to the UK, with Putin in the mix, following a mentally unstable US president and destroying any evidence there was count as careful and responsible?
-
It’s ok to say you don’t agree ... what is the substance ? Russia will veto every UN resolution and a chat over tea and biscuits won’t cut it.
-
Well, there is no substance now is there? There could have been evidence, but that’s just been blown away. So no we have the pantomime “oh yes you did”, “oh no I didn’t”, but with bombs.
-
That should have read solution..... With a veto at every turn what is the solution? I hardly think victims will consider this a pantomime.
-
The solution is, regardless of bombs, political. We need to win the political war. At the moment we are playing into the hands of Russia and Iran - they are winning the PR war - winning converts to the "West is Evil" cause. This won't help.
-
And you get round the constant veto how?
