.... I say we don't do it. Once long ago we helped the French and got involved in Vietnam.
I applaud the UK for saying Hell NO!

Wrong this time. We got into Iraq by the Intel out of the UK and they went into Iraq with us. There is nit any simple answers in Syria, we knocked off Saddam in Iraq who powered over Iran and they are ready to take on whoever now. Iraq is an example of where it is impossible to put the cork back in the bottle.

It was the colonies that had no representation.
