THE NIGHTMARE THAT IS SYRIA.

From the moment that Prime Minister David Cameron decided he had to push for intervention into what has become a beleaguered Syria, trouble was going to be right around the corner. Britain is in no fit state, either economically, or of having sufficient fire power, to scare any nation. We would have trouble threatening the Scilly Isles.

Naturally, the use of chemical weapons on any peoples is diabolical, but a genocidal attack on your own is unthinkable. However, there might always be some doubt which side committed this heinous crime.

The Middle East is going through a period which engulfed different factions of the Christian church in the past. One could say that there are still fragments of this in Ireland. Unfortunately, the type of weapon technology, along with instant communication, keeps the whole world abreast of events. Assad, on the surface, is deemed to be the bad guy. This, however, does not absolve the opposition, which now includes many factions taking advantage of the situation. The current regime at least allows different factions of Islam and Christians to go about their lives without threat. This would become a problem under stricter Islamic rule.


SO DAVE, WE'RE BETTER OFF OUT OF THIS MIDDLE EASTERN HELL.
