Corbyn's stance on war is refreshing, Afghanistan and Iraq achived nothing, it only helped ISIS rise in power. On top of that, it lead to the death and pyschological damage of thousands of young British soldiers, and what was it for in the end? What did we actually achive over there? Syria is just a rerun of Iraq. War brings war.

Syria is different to Iraq though, we can't afford to have our foreign policy forever constrained by the mistakes of the past or go through this traumatic period of soul searching and introspection while the world burns.

The current leader of 'Stop The War' is also a member of 'The Communist Party of Britain'.

Yeah the 'Stop the War' name is actually pretty misleading. They're not against the war, they're just against whatever the latest anti-Western cause is. Some of their positions over the last few years:

Praised the “internationalism and solidarity” of ISIS, comparing them to the International Brigades

Blamed the victims of the Paris attacks and said France were “reaping the whirlwind of western support for extremist violence”

Supported the Iraqi “struggle” against British troops “by any means necessary“

Said they “stand with” Saddam Hussein

Blamed the Charlie Hebdo attacks on the West

Compared Assad to Churchill

Promoted Assad apologists

Refused to give Syrians a platform on a debate about Syria

Defended Russia’s invasion of Georgia

Appeased supporters of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

Blamed the FIFA corruption scandal on an Israeli conspiracy

Opposed action to save the Yazidis stranded on a mountain surrounded by ISIS

Defended Putin over Ukraine

Backed Russia over Crimea

Genuine headline on website said it is “time to go to war with Israel”
