I've surprised myself.
I actually agree with what the politicians have decided (whatever their motivation) If someone gives me a drink when I'm thirsty, just to make themselves feel better, I still get the drink.
This country does not need another war. Shouldn't even be in the sandpit now.
Also, 'we' the nominally Christian 'West' can't be seen piling in to 'murder' good Muslims - they're busy blowing each other away. Sunni vs Shiite or vice versa - let them get on with it. Before the bleeding hearts give it 'what about the kids?', it didn't bother us overmuch in WW2 when each side was happy to bomb cities. It's utterly tragic, but it won't go away if we pile in to shore up tottering politicians' careers.
I truly believe that their is enough resource in the Middle East to sort their own **** out. WE are not the world's policemen despite what our 'special' allies seem to think. The billions spent in the Sandpits (various) could have paid for a lot of the infrastructure that's being dismantled for lack of funds.
NIMBY - bet your ass.
