But this sounds to me like your saying that we shouldn't go ahead with the bombings because Syrian civilians
might,
at some point join ISIS as a result. But whilst it may be true that some extremists do come out of situations like this, I think on the whole, they're normal people like us at the end of the day who want an end to the regime. And I don't see what the alternative is. A lot of the 'against' arguments seem to be based on what may happen in the future as a result of our involvement but doing nothing at all and leaving ISIS to run as they currently are will leave ordinary Syrian people without a future imo - and at the very least, will prolong their current suffering
