Immature advisers, moral indignation and the folly of wading into this bloody morass
UK DAILY MAIL excerpt:
The Prime Minister seems to see in the crisis that has overtaken Syria his own Falklands moment, a chance to play the statesman and even warlord on the world stage.
Almost everyone else, however, including the U.S. President, sees a hideously intractable situation in which we meddle at our peril.
Downing Street has told the media that we may expect to see Western cruise missiles launched against Syrian government installations within a matter of days.
(SNIP)
Downing Street has not, however, indicated what the purpose or expectations of such strikes should be, save to give President Assad a severe whacking.
Another sensible and measured article about the Syria crisis from the Daily Mail.
It seems that Cameron has the same gleam in his eye that Blair had and doesn't want to listen to the intelligence experts. Worth reading the whole article to get an inside view.
