    I really think there is no alternative, we can target the production of chemical weapons then it is a risk worth taking.

    I only hope is that there’s a long term plan, bombs very rarely bring peace, it made the situation worse in Libya and Iraq.

    We knew it was going to happen but not the best news to wake up to, yes I don't see what other option they had, the worrying thing is Russia's reply, surely they wouldn't be daft enough to attack any one of the three parties who took part in this action.

    I am worried every time we start attacking another country. Russia may well take some strategic action, but how they would justify such action I have no idea. There rhetoric has been pathetic to be honest, they were in Syria to prevent the use of chemical weapons, so they have failed. All over the world we have dictators hurting and killing their own people, we don’t get involved. However the sight of children choking on chemicals is not something I want to get used too.

    We sell them the chemicals to make chemical weapons then bomb them for allegedly using them. Makes perfect sense.

    Follow the money.

    We
    we do this all the time, I just hope that our business in Syria is strictly monitored, but I doubt it. The opposition need to be on their toes on this!

    Right that we should do SOMETHING
    Wrong that it's just our leader following the bald eagle again.

    Should have been debated by parliament to decide what course of action.. if the concensus was force, then fair enough.

    Only if there is evidence of chemical weapon manufacturing. Now, where are those “weapons of mass destruction” ;)

    Concerned this will lead to revenge attacks over here where our own innocent citizens will suffer. Not clever to follow Trump.

    That's the pattern. We're seemingly unwilling to break it.

    Unfortunately we have seen what lengths Russia are prepared to go to kill spies and their family, if the stories are true we could not stand idly by when anyone who touched anything contaminated with that chemical agent would possibly die.
    These people know the risk in what they are doing, I would assume with fantastic rewards if successful (I know this sounds callous) but an execution with a bullet through the head, rather than the risk of killing innocent individuals, there was always going to be a kick back from the British government and a tit for tat denial from Russia.

    The Russian secret services wouldn’t touch innocent foreign citizens.

    I think you've misunderstood my post I posted this "if the stories are true we could not stand idly by when anyone who touched anything contaminated with that chemical agent would possibly die" then said "rather than the risk of killing innocent individuals", I'm not suggesting they would kill innocent citizens, but if the agent was on the door handle anyone who touched it would be contaminated, that was more my point, or if it had been on the father and daughters clothing anyone who touched it as Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey was in danger.

    This isn’t a left wing country.
