Why don't you have a read up on the Srebrenica massacre and learn the value of inaction.

Doing nothing is easy. Doing the right thing, that's hard.

If you have the means and opportunity to stop something bad happening, do it. The world will thank you for it.

Opinion polls don't save lives.

The Falklands was of national interest, if the UN or NATO agree to step in then fair enough but where do you stop?

Zimbabwe/many other African nations - Dodgy government.

North Korea - The dodgiest regime of them all if the media is to be believed.

China's human rights record in the past...and so on.

It now turns out that the Islamic Fundamentalist rebels might well have let off a gas bomb.  Why not bomb both sides to show how tough we are? 

On the other hand, if we were to launch a nuclear attack perhaps we could take over their whole country as in the old glory days of Empire.  Remember, The British know what's best for you.

I take a differing perspective and Poach touched on this!
Why don't we fly humanitarian flags in other countries?
Africa?
China?
North Korea?
Why Syria in particular? Think hard on this one people?   :undecided:
I'm more surprised Obama took the bait! :wink:
