Let’s not start another war

Once more we have a copycat of the Iraq War with the controversial US President again taking action without consultation or UN involvement and attacking Syrian air bases just as Bush did in Iraq which led to over 500,000 casualties in the war that followed, which was more people than Saddam ever killed.

US carried our an air strike in Syria recently

And once more we have Labour MPs defending his action like Pat McFadden, Tom Watson and Gavin Williamson. Are we to go down the same path Tony Blair led us? None of these politicians have come up with any solution to end the Syrian war, and since the first chemical attacks in 2011, 2012, 2013, and so on, how many people have died since then; they all have had six years to find a solution, none has been found.

We had the same situation with Iraq with Saddam using chemical weapons against the Kurds, then also no action was taken at the time. Then Bush decided to start his own war. Ask yourselves, if the US was threatened by ISIS or anti-government forces would they use their chemical weapons, yes they would.

Let’s not be drawn into another Iraq war by our puppets controlled by the US. All weapons are made to kill, so why have we waited for so long before such action is taken. Not in our interest, or just hypocrisy?
