    Quite right. Should simply use a few nukes and the problem would disappear. Just make sure the wind is blowing in the right direction.

      Against.

      We are only joining France et al for diplomatic reasons.

      I'm listening to Syrian nationals and dual nationals on the radio. They say it's a waste of time especially as Assad is killing Syrians as well.

          Do you not think it's got more to do with Russia getting involved, and the west feeling they need to respond properly to that?

          Nothing like wrecking another country to perpetuate a slow burn between the super powers...

          Also the debate is a farse, a load of kids shouting and talking over each other, no ruddy point at all - the whole thing is a sham, and anyone who has their mind changed on the subject due to the debate will be in the extreme minority - so what is the point in the stage show?

            Fix UK security FIRST!

            I'd rather we spend the time and money closing our borders and checking the identity of everyone in the UK who wasn't born here, remove the hidden terrorists, stop any arriving.

              If it does go ahead I give it 3 weeks before the headlines are full of "Hospital/School/Wedding/Civilians Targetted" stories.

              It didnt work in Iraq, or Afgansitan, and it's not going to work in Syria.

                Is your plan to send out a questionnaire with "Are you a terrorist: Yes/No"?

                  No chance. Have you not heard of our "magic rockets" that only target the right people?

                    All the Paris attackers were French or Begian nationals, born there and with Passports.

                      If I were an ISIS jihadi in Syria, I would not want to be bombed.
