To all of those out there who believe we, along with Corbyn, are some sort of IS supporters, let it be known that we detest these murderous gangsters as much as you do. We want IS wiped off the face of the earth as much as you do and many of us, just like you, have children we will protect with whatever it takes; some of us believe, unlike you, that Western involvement in Syria could put our children in danger and not protect them from it.
We have gone into Syria under one coalition; the problem is and this could be massive, is, there is more than one coalition and the other coalition don't want the same things we want. When we start bringing Russia, Iran and possibly China into that other coalition then things start to get alarmingly complicated.
We all held our breath when a member of our coalition shot down a jet from the other coalition. Could this be the spark for the end of days? fortunately not but its early days and any of us who accept this bombing campaign must also accept that this conflict could lead directly into world war 3. Perhaps that's scaremongering but from where I'm sitting, the possibility of that is much bigger than the West being overrun with ISIS terrorists.
What we have to ask ourselves is this....With all the US military mite over the past 18 months...the 57,000 sorties and 9,000 air strikes that have rained down from the skies upon Syria, why have they barely touched that evil shadow?.

I actually agree with most of your post and the one after and i do support the airstrikes because i feel that not doing anything is worse than doing something.I also agree we should go after the countries who finance IS but i believe that is only part of the solution along with military action.
The Corbyn part is what i disagree with.He at worst has sympathies with terrorism and at best is incompetent of running a country.There are certain decisions that as a pacifist he cannot make which make him incompatable with the role of PM.
