Higher ground has been taken by some Ammi, I have been made to feel less than comfortable often on here even by those who think it ridiculous as to being against the air strikes.
I wavered and still wavered and have had pacifist thrown at me, what would you do, when I don't know as if their way was the only way.
Even on here and off too, some took the line the PM did with his obscene comment as to voting against being terrorist sympathisers..The claps given to those defending that statement were telling.
I have always said, I was in a dilemma on this as I think most should be, however it has been the case of not perhaps crowing but more jubilation shown from those who supported the action,while ridiculing and interrogating those after the voter was passed as to what they would do, sit around the table with IS for instance not to mention the unsavoury digs to Corbyn on this.
So sorry to disagree that some have not jumped into taking the higher moral ground on this but I think you will find that has been the case.
I could answer with well wait until all the deaths that will come about and then blame the action for them if I wanted to take the moral high ground,however that is what would be really sickening to do.
Equally however I am not going to clap the action being taken either.
I agree there should be no moral high ground to take but equally there should be no condemnation, ridiculing and interrogation of those against or for the action either.
It is a dilemma,a real one and people I think are more likely to be undecided rather than for or against either position.
