Britain Dive-Bombs into Another Disastrous War
British addition of more warplanes to the already-crowded Syrian conflict is wholly wrong, just as the Americans and French are.

One hour after the British Parliament voted this week for military intervention in Syria, RAF warplanes began bombing Syria. This is another rush to war by Britain whose recent record of military interventions has been an unmitigated disaster. Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya have been bombed into failed, terrorist-spawning states by Britain, along with its ally in Washington. Why should Syria be any different, going by this criminal record of imperialist barbarism?
It truly is astounding that British MPs could be so myopic about recent history and Britain’s responsibility for unleashing conflict and terrorism across the Middle East and North Africa.
Britain’s Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron finally got his parliament’s approval for extending British air strikes from Iraq to now include Syria. Two years ago, Cameron’s plans to bomb Syria were resoundingly rejected by the House of Commons. This week, he won approval with a wide majority of 174 votes, including 66 from the main Opposition party, Labour.
