British mp's have voted to bomb Syria it was an overwhelming vote,despite Jeremy Corbyn's resistance.
Thoughts ?

Step 1. Invite any civilians/refugees of Syria who want to escape the conflict into EUrope and other countries.

Step 2. Completely bomb Syria until it is void of life.

Step 3. Rebuild Syria.

Step 4. Move the people back in.

Step 5. Help them until they can walk on their own.

I'm sorry the rest of the world, I'm ashamed of my government yet again...

Why would you be ashamed of your government's willingness to shoulder the cost (both financial and in lives) of fighting a war that's not yet at their border, in order to combat a force that is anti human?

It's good to help your neighbour out. If you saw your neighbour beating his wife to death, would you be ashamed of stepping in to stop him?

Labour needs to control power and quick

You're missing the point, the amount of innocent civilians that will die at the hands of the British bomb two times the amount of casualties then the Paris attacks;in fact France themselves killed 700 innocents in 'revenge'

Lastly nobody wants to bomb Syria the majority opinion in Britain is that we don't want to bomb Syria. But then Cameron says he speaks for the people. Disgraceful

Heh.

This is stupid and unplanned. Bombing Syria is completely different to bombing Iraq. In Iraq, at least when we first started bombing it, the aim wasn't to defeat IS, instead it was supposedly to defend Iraq. However, now the government thinks it can push back IS but has no idea whatsoever who it wants to take control of the land under the control of IS. The bombings will do little to stop IS, but will do a lot to help IS with their propaganda.

I was in parliament square protesting last night. It's terrible, I think it's about 70% of the British public are against bombing, yet about 70% of parliament was in favour of it. Not much of a democracy. Even if we just forget the innocent people who will be killed, the families that will be forced to flee to Europe, only to be called a "swarm". What will this achieve? It will only reinforce their ideologies, allow them to play the victim, frame us as evil oppressors. Extremism will increase and we'll have wasted lives and money. The money the west has spent on the middle east cycle of war, which it started, could have eradicated world hunger and poverty several times over.

proxy war

Would this "Helping out" involve the murder of their children and their other neighbours who are innocents? Nope, i didn't think so either.

But that's what the bombs are doing already.

Boots on the ground is evil, airstrikes are evil. What do you people suggest we actually do about ISIS? Nothing?

ISIS will continue running rampant over the Middle East, slaughtering innocent people and gaining strength, until they're stopped. I can understand a reluctance to go to war, but someone will have to get their hands dirty if ISIS is to ever be defeated.

This shell-shocked isolationist attitude is the same thing that allowed Nazi Germany to advance as far as it did during the 1930s-40s.

@Eklipse, saying you want to defeat IS is all well and good, but you do you want to take over the land currently under their de facto control? No one in favour of these air strikes has come up with a sensible answer to this yet.

just wait until The Caliphate eradicates your puny nation

I am supposedly a Tory, and I support the Prime Minister's decision to expand the fight against ISIL to Syria, and I would also support a further expansion into Libya.

ISIL are a terrorist organisation, and should be fought against with tooth and nail, and I am proud that Britain is one of the few countries alongside the US, Australia and France with the testicles to support the Muslim countries of the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Jordan reclaiming their honour and religion.

What ! All this will accomplish is an attack on London. Because we bombed the shit out of innocent civilians

My new profile picture explains it all

Well, ISIS already hates all of Europe, so bombing Syria won't change anything in that regard.

It's a tough question. The best thing would be to give control back to the Iraqi government, only this time prop up their infrastructure and education to make the country more stable. There's still no guarantee they won't fall apart again, but with the right tools we can make it far less likely for another terrorist group to gain this kind of ground.

Destroy IS, rebuild the country, hope for the best. It's a far superior option than the alternative of just sitting idly by and watching events unfold.

This^. Europe and the United States are already primary terrorist targets. Groups like ISIS despise our existence with a fury and nothing is going to change that. Even if you ignore them, they won't ignore you.
