I made the point about Cameron mainly because this was a decision taken at EU level which owed more to London than to Brussels. We are not always passive players in Europe, or "victims" of European decisions, as some people seem to think.
I don't disagree, though, that it's US domestic politics that trumps most other things relating to the Middle East. This carries huge dangers.
i really do not disagree with you.I just wish people would see the bigger picture.
we(uk) are involved per say in what goes on in Syria according to what goes on in the White House,that is a fact.we are second string to the fiddle
Currently Obama is in a power struggle,he is fighting for his political life,he has the republicans screaming for intervention and calling him a weak president re his policy on this and the Benghazi incident,he is screwed on the IRS scandal and taking a beating on privacy and the NSA, a good old war is always a vote winner when you are under pressure
hopefully cool minds will prevail and take a step back...........but i wont hold my breath
