...>>the hell created in Syria by Assad and IS<br /><br />We mustn't forget our own role in prolonging the hell that is making people need to flee - as well as Assad and IS, many other armed groups are in the field, including Al Qaeda, funded by Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states, and actively aided and abetted by the West. The Syrians are just collateral damage in a three or four sided proxy war between US/EU/Saudi Arabia, Iran and Russia (and Turkey). <br /><br />The war is at a bloody stalemate but the UK is in effect working at the diplomatic level to prolong it, by not accepting reasonable conditions for ending it.

Where is the ECHR when an intervention would be righteous and warranted?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02498602195486139484noreply@blogger.com
