Really.
How odd, from the other angle, I have spoken to some of those I know and don't know who had their Sons and Daughters sent to Iraq and Afghanistan who are dreading the thought of any of then going again to the Middle east or indeed anyone elses Sons and Daughters too.
Especially on a policy of what appears to be at best patchwork as outlined by the PM last week.
I also have 3 much older brothers all who served in the Forces, who also are dead against any more of our action in the Middle East, they believe, the Middle east is already riddled with our failed attempts to sort things out for the better.
My mind is now being swung against action and after the preposterous claim by the PM that there are 70,000 moderates in Syria waiting to be helped by us, which even his own MPs dispute and see and as pie in the sky, I think this may well be another big mistake.
