With the debate being led, largely, by the right wing media, the military and others I'm not surprised that the publics support is changing towards war.
I'm certain that the world must stop ISIS and throw out Assad but a few brimstone missiles is not the solution. If we mean business we have to commit soldiers, a LOT of soldiers. That means a LOT of dead British soldiers. It's harsh but true.
I thought the media debate has been relatively balanced and thoughtful excluding the red tops of course.
Agree with you about the need for boots on the ground. The 70,000 moderate rebels recently mentioned by the PM are unlikely to be a cohesive, effective fighting force if they exist at all. The air strikes are a sticking plaster on an open wound at some point someone is going to have to go in but considering the myriad of different interests I can't see how. One helluva mess but anything that degrades and disrupts ISIS control is better than doing FA.
