This comes off the back of allegations that the Assad government has used chemical weapons. Now, I don't know about you but I don't actually see the huge horror over chemical weapons. At the end of the day, why is it so much more worse to be gassed than it is to be blown apart into bits or to be sprayed with shrapnel and die of horrific injuries buried in concrete? As thousands of Syrians have already done. Yet if 60 die due to chemicals that's an outrage.
In any case, Syria is not and has never been within the British sphere of interest - the only three great powers to have interests there are France as former colonial power, Russia and the United States. If Syria disintegrated into two, three or twelve statelets tomorrow it really wouldn't affect British interests in the slightest. Not our problem so stay out of it.
And then there's what is best for Syria itself. I don't see how bombing the regime - who aren't insane jihadists like the rebels and every other group bar the Kurds - in any way improves things for Syria. If anything, a quick victory for the regime over the Islamists would be the best outcome. Those who want to go into Syria need to be asked, what do they propose we replace the Assad regime with?
Thoughts? Are you for or against British involvement in the Syrian Civil War?
