President Obama has decided to seek the approval of Congress for his plan to strike Syria militarily, to “teach President Assad a Lesson”<\/p>\n
What lessons can the US teach anyone when it comes to chemical weapons, weapons of mass destruction or non-aggression ?<\/p>\n
Having failed to get the UK figleaf he wanted the Peace Prize Laureate is seeking to get a US one even though like here the great majority of his people do not want military intervention on Syria<\/p>\n
Congress does not reconvene for 9 days
\nLet us remember that all five nuclear armed Security Council members are involved in this and are also opposed to one another<\/p>\n
and of course Israel has the bomb as well<\/p>\n
During the Cuba Crisis in 1963 the world was on hold and held to ransom for a similar 9 days<\/p>\n
after that we had the assassination of JFK and the Vietnam war<\/p>\n
When will we ever learn ?<\/p>\n
Tonight Parliament by the slimmest of margins voted against mandating this country to take military action against Syria<\/p>\n
however this was in the face of a three line whip and a Prime Minister hell bent on war.<\/p>\n
Had the people of this country been allowed to vote the majority against would have been massive<\/p>\n
Now we must set about the urgent matter of helping Syria rather than bombing it and do everything we can<\/p>\n
to bring the horrors to an end and address the key issue of the Middle East which is restoring peace to Jerusalem and all the land and<\/p>\n
people around it.<\/p>\n

Government capitulates and has to defer vote on going to war against Syria<\/p>\n
Kofi Annan says give peace a chance, at least let inspectors find the evidence and submit report first<\/p>\n
Even Tory MPs say overwhelming opposition from their constituents against military intervention in Syria<\/p>\n
and express outrage that they are not being allowed a free vote<\/p>\n
Even Nigel Faraj leader of UKIP (perhaps surprisingly)\u00a0 has stated that he is against military intervention on Syria on the grounds that the majority of British people are against it and that British troops are treated badly enough anyway and should not be made to go to war again. He also said that the government has patently lost the plot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
