I sort of see why they do this, its a rag tag Dad's Army affair, but it's still not the discriminate bombing we would practice. The bottom line is that this is a very messy affair where there is no black and white only very grubby shades of grey, and the line between what we in the west might view as acceptable and unacceptable is dotted and shifts frequently. If the politicians are expecting a clean and clinical war, I'm afraid they need to brace themselves for an alternate reality.
Indeed M.
You have to balance ^^those^^ thoughts with the sheer barbarity of IS, something which, once the initial shock and horror wore off, has become
almost mainstream news now.
IS need exterminating.
However how do you do that without generating even more jihads ?? Any action in Syria needs a out plan that leaves the country stable and secular.
Guess who that leaves in charge??
