We didnt vote for any other countries involvement, only our own.

Sorry I forgot we were only doing strikes with nerf foam missiles and water balloons. It now seems obvious to me that, while other countries will be doing the bad air strikes, we will only do awesome ones, because UK.

Except that there have been high up government figures today outright stating that collateral damage (That means dead children, to the layperson, though they steer clear of such terms) are "inevitable" because "war is messy business" - a phrase so detached from the brutal reality of its own meaning that it makes me sick to my stomach. Although I suspect that's exactly how most high level politicians see it. Messy business and numbers.
