This is a step in the direction to help the influx of refugee’s fleeing their countries due to their lands be destroyed by war & terrorism – However as with a disease the cause is not being tackled. If David Cameron believes that ISIS & Assad are part of the cause of this crisis, which is what he stated in yesterday’s statement then he is just going to compound this crisis further with more damage to foreign civilsation. ISIS is a problem, no one can deny this however they themselves are a symptom also, they are a symptom generated by the UK and its allies foreign policies over the last several decades.
Intervention into how Countries such as Syria operate have to stop, our Governments clearly do not intervene for the benefit of the people, if they do then they are exceptionally bad at intervening. History clearly shows us that any intervention we take NEVER ends with a stabilised and safer land for the people of the lands in question.
Iraq is a prime example of this. Saddam Hussein was deemed a tyrant, which in many respects he was however the West’s intervention has done nothing but damage to Iraq and its people.
Expect intervention from Westernised Government’s and possibly Russia against Syria, then expect thousands more refugees, lives lost and a stronger ISIS.
Do we think maybe its time for a different approach?
