I don't know, it's difficult. I deffinitely think we should help with food and bedding and stuff, but arms, I'm not so sure 

i wish i had the balls to fight

im too settled in my own little world

but if push came to shove

i'd help out

its only natural to want to help

 

Yes.  We shouldn't just help out when there is oil to collect from it.  We should help out when people are getting slaughtered and we can do stuff about it.  It shouldn't be decided on a 'what's in it for us' basis.  If the govt can help in any way, they should BECAUSE they've been quick enough to jump in and 'help' in other countries.

We remove 'dictators' and chaos ensues....

Yes, its often so complicated You can never tell how things will pan out.

 

I don't know, in short.

I find it incredible how quickly the US has gone in there in the name of humanity, but not a murmur about Syria,  baffling.

Exactly!

Sadly there always seems to be an ulterior motive behind some involvement and not in others.

That's why UK should not be the US whipping boy

 

A UN response is where we should be at and nothing more 

oil 

theres the magic word

 

 

but them people 

yazidis

theyre gonna get slaughtered

 

theyre seen as satan worshippers

theyre not

google them

 

we live in a wicked world

 

I don't think the Syrian conflict was as clear cut as this is (but I don't think we should get involved in this either)

 

I still say the Chemical weapons used in Syria was used by the rebel fighters trying to get the west in there and remove the Syrian leader for them.

but dont worry

cos dave will stick up for them

ive never hated a government so much

self serving b*stards

if i had the money id buy an island

and live there

away from all this

id build houses

you can all live there

away from this 

heart of glass would be our national anthem

and we would spend our days fishing

our nights singing

^ well said cologne!

I'm all for helping humanity, there are innocent civilians getting slaughtered in gaza, Syria and Iraq, and probably in a lot of other places too.
I want peace but don't think it's going come until the entire human race is extinct.

I'm a bit sceptical about the media coverage too, I think the news often reports what they want us to hear and not what's really going on.

off to bed

goodnight

Godbless

I believe there is a UN article that prevents members interfering in civil wars, so no, we should not become involved militarily, although humanitarian relief is just being sympathetic to those caught up in them. It's a dilemma though
