Post it up then.

The MP for Bethnal Green and Bow announced she would not take part in the House of Commons vote as she does not believe air strikes would be an effective in "targeting terrorists and not harming innocent civilians".

MPs voted to begin air strikes in Iraq to combat the militant group Isis (also known as Isil and Islamic State) by a majority of 481, with 524 voting yes and 43 voting no.

Ali, who was elected MP for Bethnal Green and Bow in 2010, said she was "unable in conscience to support the motion" and deliberately refrained from it.

In her resignation letter to Labour leader Ed Miliband, she said: "There can be no doubt that the actions of Isil are horrific and barbaric and I share the revulsion that everyone in our country feels towards them.

"However, I am not confident that this military action will be effective in the short term in just targeting the terrorists and not harming innocent civilians. Nor can I pretend to have any confidence that there is a credible long-term strategy to build up the capacity of the Iraqi army or that the potential impact on radicalisation in the UK has been properly thought through.

She added: "Despite good intentions, too many mistakes have been made over the last decade and far too many people in conflict zones have had to pay a high price for misconceived actions by the UK and other countries.

a "convenient" explanation.....

(But of course like all the rest of the worms that voted against it..(all 48 of em) she has NO suggestions as to what WIIL work....doing nothing is NOT an option)

I was replying to your comment in red.

why is THAT predjudiced?

Just like your good self she is long on problems etc and very short on solutions.

what part of "doing nothing is not an option" do you have a prblem with...

indeed...what would YOU do about it???

negotiate.....pffft

run and hide
give in to em?

or what???

Well I have no other solutions, I hate war and killing people who may be innocent, but I say doing nothing isn't working.....

I hate it too, but doing nothing might be the only thing that works, when you have people who pray for war.

Innocent people are already being slaughtered by these murdering terrorists.



Targeted air strikes on military hardware and obvious terrorist fighter movements is totally justified.

Very good point. Whenever something is unsatisfactory, someone shouts we must DO SOMETHING! Why? No. 1, it's not our problem. No. 2, doing nothing is an equally valid option. No. 3, 'let time be your ally'...in other words, very often '...isn't working' is simply 'not giving it enough time to work'.

What is idiotic is going out to kill people, with neither a reason as to why, nor and end game to put it all to rest. DO SOMETHING is an expression of panic, not a rational plan. We ought to know the difference.
