Even if we wanted to take military action in Syria,

and I certainly don't, did anyone notice in the British Parliament today the result of the bridge that the last administration burned with our ally? They are not going to get sucked into another stupid war in the Middle East. We took advantage of them and the British people know it. This time, at least, it's a good thing. In the future, maybe not so much.
