What ideas are there instead of bombing?

This is his letter printed in the Guardian.
Does that sound like someone at the bottom of the barrel, or someone eminently sensible, who knows far more about the middle east and the interactions there with the west and Russia than even Tristram Hunt?

Just to clarify, as you only seem to have read the first paragraph of my post.

There was no response, Eloethan, because I'd gone to bed by the time you posted the above and yesterday things seemed to have moved on rather.

I didn't comment on the article, I commented on Chris Floyd, whose style I find pretentious and self-satisfied. And if even thatbags and janea can't penetrate his waffle I don't think his views are going to cut much ice with the majority of readers/posters on here.

No, I said more than that, as you must know. Do you want me to copy and paste my reply on here? Hang on...

Except you did not actually answer it, did you? You just said the thread had moved on since then.

I do not understand, greenockgran.

"There must be plenty of information of those already in the UK."

What do you mean by of those?
The syriacampaign is by people still in Syria, trying to keep their country together.

Er...I think if you look at the relevant thread, durhamjen, you'll see that I answered the question posed by Eloethan. Do try to check your facts first.

A good question soontb and the answer is obvious, the first group is NOT more important than the second group.

There must be plenty of information of those already in the UK. Just this weekend someone had their throat cut, but the family of this person who shouted "this is for Syria" had reported him and it was ignored.
I wonder why a muslim march for peace was also ignored in our press. The cost of bombing Syria should really be spent on keeping our own people safe... Or is that too obvious?

A question, soon. Have I ever said the first group is more important than the second group?

What happened to your response, Ana, when you said I was scraping the bottom of the barrel? Pot calling kettle black there. Anyway, soon can answer for herself. It's not a question.

Soon, what the people of Syria want is far more important than what you or I or anyone else on here think about the situation.

This is what they want, and I agree that that is important.

I dont understand why some people consider the first group a lot more important than the second group.

Although not a direct question, this is obviously what soon meant, as you must know, durhamjen. But as usual, you'd rather pretend otherwise and avoid having to actually explain anything without a link.

I've looked and there is no question there, soon.
If you are just reiterating the op, my answer was on the first page.

An avoiding answer. Oh well.

True soon, I do not have to answer , I do answer the majority of questions, I pass those that are obviously posted to bait or those which make no sense to me.

20.24pm post

Which question, soon?

And you havent answered the question either. You dont have to either.

Answer to Anniebach.
dj, there is a whole thread to answer yours.

You have not answered the question. You dont have to of course.

Very Christian of you, soon.

And I don't understand how you soon can consider the latter to suffer more than the former , you have supported the bombing even before there was a vote

Having been away, it can give the brain more time to think.
I have been thinking about the innocent[I dont like that phrase, but everyone knows what everyone means] people who might get bombed, and thinking of the other group of people who now have a much higher chance of not getting raped, murdered etc etc, which long term, medium term and probably short term, is likely to be a higher number.
I dont understand why some people consider the first group a lot more important than the second group.

I agree, Annie. I also agree with Nick, this Nick.

Nicholas Henin's video has been the most watched video on the war this year.

Jen, so moving, who knows better than those men and women, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lybia , they have been through it. And their thoughts not only with fellow armed forces but the people who endured years of fighting
