Seems to me that there are 2 opposing viewpoints, voting on different issues. The "no" camp is sound-biting that we are going to "bomb Syria" and that this action will be the sum total of the UK's response. What better excuse to sit on your hands and hope the nasty men go away - with any luck someone else will deal with it.

A more informed "yes' vote opens the way to the full range of support that can be offered to friendly boots on the ground. And I'm pretty sure some of them would welcome the safety net of real-time intelligence and fast air.

Stick me down as a yes. You don't win wars by defending territory; you win wars by destroying the enemy's capability.
