On a similar note:
What are my fellow B3tan's thoughts on the Syria crisis?
I find it laughable that the U.S is on a "diplomatic" tour to rally support to strike another country, all the while saying it is not to start a war?!

Hardly going to start a peace process is it?

History repeating itself
Get involved in tribal conflict, impose arbitrary national boundary, install a corrupt government or dictatorship, work on "my enemy's enemy is my friend", act surprised when they turn out not to be, rinse and repeat.

I think the use of Tribal in this context is really patronising.

Don't think so. Nothing about that within the wikipedia article.

It's on a par with saying the troubles in Northern Ireland was a tribal conflict.

That's just semantics
You can define "tribal" any way you like, it doesn't have to mean of a common ethnic descent, it gets applied to fans of the same football team, for example. It's more about common behaviors and views than skin colour.

Well I find that a difficult questions Jay but I'm glad you asked.
If we don't intervene wiv guns an bombs we're basically saying 'the UK has no problem with you gassing your citizens, fill your boots'.

But we're also not the world's police, it ain't up to us to be swooping in to save them from blowing each other up, ain't our problem, we've got shit to deal with too man, think about us.

The U.S keeps bleating on about this so-called evidence confirming the Syrian regime was behind the attack.
Show us the compelling evidence, then fair do's.

I don't trust the U.S after their last WMD cry, and none were found.
