Attack Syria?

[les_taxi]

Yes or no and reasons

[Dedworth]

Yes or no and reasons

No - the place is full of crazy factions and there would be no happy ending for us

[Terpe]

I agree with Dedworth.

Where has this kind of action ever had a positive outcome ?

[lordna]

NO - Only force that should maybe go in should be United Nations.

[andy222]

No lets keep our noses out. Let them get on with it.

[Arthur Little]

... way too many members of our Armed Forces have either already been killed and/or severely maimed while trying to restore order in these Arab States.

[marksroomspain]

Definite yes after what I have seen with those children, swift sharp bombing to teach these b******s a lesson, but a no no to ground troops.

[andy222]

I think we need to strengthen our borders before helping other countries.

[andy222]

Definite yes after what I have seen with those children, swift sharp bombing to teach these b******s a lesson, but a no no to ground troops.

And more innocent people get killed?. Leave them to it. I think people are already fed up with us getting involved in these things that is none of our business.

[les_taxi]

I think leave 'em to it, as sad as it is, these countries never learn

[marksroomspain]

Like I said Andy swift sharp bombing no ground troops so no casualties, these people have to learn...

[andy222]

But there will be casualties mark. And another thing is we dont know for sure who used these chemical weapons.

[marksroomspain]

If it is proven Andy then I think we cannot let people like this get away with it because what next other crackpot states thinking the west don't give a damm so more anarchy, where will it end.

Its just my opinion mate but I say yes...

[andy222]

I know its your opinion mark and I respect that. But what has it got to do with us that is the question?. Lee Rigby died because some lunatic in our country didnt like what we were doing in Afghanistan. How many more soldiers will this affect?

[Terpe]

Definite yes after what I have seen with those children, swift sharp bombing to teach these b******s a lesson, but a no no to ground troops.

I can easily understand your emotions Mark, especially as a new dad.

But does anyone know IF it happened HOW it happened and WHO did it?
I'm not convinced so far.

[bigmarco]

Despite the atrocities being committed there by whom we are yet to find out I believe that any intervention has to be by the UN alone.
Our forces have suffered enough over the last 10 years in these backward places and Cameron has no mandate to commit any of our troops on the ground. We cannot continue to be the worlds policeman and it's time that the Arabs were left to take care of their own problems.
We're being told that the Arab league are up in arms at this atrocity, well if that's the case let them all sort it out between them. Saudi Arabia and many others have plenty of oil money and plenty of forces so let them go and sort it out.
One thing that has become clear over the last 10 years is that we only create more trouble at home when we try to get involved in policing and regime change in muslim countries. These people don't want us entering these countries.
So leave them to it because one thing is certain in my mind is that todays freedom fighter in Syria and Egypt is tomorrows terrorist on the streets of London and the rest of the west.

[stevewool]

keep out, we will be damned if we do and damned if we dont

Its gets to me Peter I just want to see Assad's smile wiped off his face if he has done this.

No offence to anybody on here by my views I also don't want any of our guys killed as I said no ground troops just hope these alleged attacks on these poor children can be avenged by whoever if proven..

[andy222]

Im not the brightest spark but i dont think it will stop at a quick blast as you put it mark. None of us want to see these kids hurt but you have to draw the line.

[marksroomspain]

I fully understand and appreciate your views and opinions Andy it looks like its inevitable anyway by the latest news a window of opportunity according to that of a strike this weekend.

BTW Good luck to you and your wife on your forth coming visa application...

[andy222]

Yes thanks mate. Its right what you say all 3 of our political leaders agree with intervention but they dont have to pick up the pieces. Iraq is a prime example. Are they better off now? I dont think so.

[joebloggs]

if someone doesn't do something then rightly so, there will be millions of refugees fleeing to other countries, that cant be the answer

[gWaPito]

Yeah right, let's all turn a blind eye. Let the playground bully have his way. If it isn't dealt with other rougue nations will start dishing out the chems.

[gWaPito]

We aren't to reason why. They know the facts. They are hardly gonna tell Joe public, not yet anyway. It's not for us to be convinced, we have to trust the powers that be. The Yanks are ready to roll Us Brits are 'umming and arring as usual in these situations
The world cant stand by and watch women and children murdered..not anymore.

[gWaPito]

Definite yes after what I have seen with those children, swift sharp bombing to teach these b******s a lesson, but a no no to ground troops.

Defo with you Mark

[fred]

we have to trust the powers that be.

What, like when we were asked to trust them before when they told us about WMD in Iraq and when Bliar said we could be attacked in the UK with a 45 minute warning?

You trust them if you like.
Not me.

Good point Fred
Just trying to put a positive spin on this
Just like being dissed by an old hoe..they all aint bad..same goes for the superpower leaders. Could be worse, could have Reagan or Bush Jn in power . It's a terrible shame they didnt do the same to Mugabwe..we know it's all about the oil fields.

true, trust your eyes, 100's are dead and thats not a lie

[fred]

true, trust your eyes, 100's are dead and thats not a lie

If its true then why don't the Arab league take action to save its Muslim brothers and sisters from such atrocities?
The Saudi`s are offering the Russians secret oil deals to drop its veto in the U.N so that the U.S and the U.K can enforce a no fly zone!!
