An essay on why it is wrong for the commons to vote on going to war by James Gray MP. It seems to me to be a well argued essay. What do other gransnetters think?

Hmm. I don't trust the executive, by this chap's own admission he doesn't know much about the issues, most particularly the ultimate purpose and long term strategy, and the population as a whole is ill informed for a huge variety of reasons. So, as far as I'm concerned, unless and until we, as a nation, are in full possession of a great deal more information than at present then no war should be entered into.

War is always wrong, but often the alternative is worse.
