Is bombing them the only way to intervene? I'm not for ignoring the problem, not at all. I think that they clearly are a significant risk and the time has come to intervene, no question about that - but bombing them and to hell with the actual consequences? I can't support that, not for any idealistic reasons but because it isn't clear what exactly the long term plan is, if there even is one. Or have the MPs rushed into this so foolheartedly that the plan will be made up as it goes along.

I honestly don't know the answer to that. I do think that the term 'bombing' is rather emotive though, and in this country conjures up images of the indiscriminate bombing of the blitz that just aren't comparable with the modern usage of what are effectively guided air to surface missiles. From what I have read the RAF are principally targeting infrastructure rather than people, and I'd rather they did that, hindering the enemies ability to operate, than nothing.
