Rich, Hold your horses. Last time you went to war with the US it was based on a massive lie: on the foundation that WMD exist. A huge scam, right? That went through your democratic parliament nicely didnt it? The same decmocratic parliament that doesnt object to the MI6 rocking up at newspaper

I thought listers interested in the situation vis a vis Syria and the recent Parliamentary vote might like to see my local MP's thoughts on the situation which he emailed out on Friday evening (he has a mailing list for constituents and I'm on it). John regualrly sends emails out like this on

Intereresting read indeed. A lot made sense. For me this was very interesting and spot on: I believe that as a country because of the many conflicts we have been involved in over the last decade we have become war weary and are also in danger of being seen as a compulsive belligerent. Too bad

Richard You are very wrong. Assad simply got it wrong. Gassing is not easy. Weather plays a a big role. He is not obviously winning. Nor is he obviously losing... as he was. Do the gassed have to prove they didn’t gas themselves? That is more than interesting -- it’s bizarre. Being a Leeds

I think we actually agree, countries only ever act in their national interest rather than ethically, its in the US's interest to show its still the big dog in the playground. There is no basis in fact yet provided to go to war in Syria and no proof any action however limited will actually

For me the problem with Austin yesterday is he can do the little passes nicely but then tries a long one and is awful, it's not that he'd hoof them into touch, it's that he would pass to the opposition which invariably seemed to lead to them breaking into attack with our defence unprepared.

Stats don't tell you much here. If he gives the ball away in their half trying to pick out a pass to the strikers that's fair enough, but Austin doesn't - he gives it away after he's done the hard job of winning it, under no pressure, with 10 yard passes. There was a spell between 50-60 minutes

Abstension is a cowardly avoidance of the issues and I'm afraid I found the bloke's mail rather self-serving without giving any sense of his moral compass (and look at how he dealt with the Labour amendment.) Does he believe that force is justified if a line is crossed or does he believe

I've got no blood on my hands - mostly thanks to Chirac which is probably even worse than a lib-dem hand wringing abstension but there you go. And if you don't count you can put yourself in that nice little moral shelter where you can tut-tut at all the others (or kill them if recent and ancient
