I find this whole 'brotherhood of arms' (USA & Britain) aiming a strike at Syria worrying
•Who are we aiming at? Lets not forget there is two rival groups at war not just one side
•Do we have actual evidence rather than credible evidence of weapons used by Government forces?
•If we do strike, what are we going to achieve? We may overthrow Assad eventually but who is going to then control the country?! The rebels?!
This has bad news written all over it with far reaching consequences in the pipeline. Plus I honestly think other countries will not stand for it (Russia & Iran) leading to consequences from them
Scary times ahead
Indeed.
We must also remember that there are factions involved who would easily turn upon each other once Assad had been deposed, it's not just one side against another.
e.g. Do we really want to side with or assist Al Quaeda against Assad?
