I'm sorry if this might sound uncaring Why on earth are Britain getting involved in a conflict thousands of miles away? So what if Assad uses chemical weapons, why do the UK have to get involved? It is going to put us at risk of terror attacks, and God forbid Nuclear War. It is not our problem? Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy are not getting involved

If she lies to parliament and it proves the gassing never happened, then what is said about May will be similar to what was said about Blair. However if a conflict and a subsequent peace is won and all is settled, what is said will be somewhat different.
OG, it wasn't just Blair I was thinking of. Britain got stuck into Iraq#1 and Afghanistan as well, and they turned out badly. Your second "if" is a very big one.
I share Geordie's scepticism.

What personal interest are we advancing or protecting?

But that's selfish thinking, so:

Whose suffering are we trying to alleviate and why?
How are we going about alleviating it?
Our chances of achieving that end?
The likely consequences of a successful effort?
The likely consequences of a failed effort?

Saddam Hussein has gone.
Gadaffi has gone.
Mubarak has gone..

The Arab spring is sprung, the grass is riz, I wonder where the wisdom iz.
Only "badly" because the lesson of needing to sort out the result of conflict hadn't been acted on. Besides there is a range of results between the two extremes, and a consequential range of comments that could be made afterwards, which was the subject of the initial query.
I don't think most of Assad's critics have thought that much about the consequences for Syria once he's gone, but, I'm sure, will come together in celebration once he's left.
Then again, she could come out of a conflict smelling of roses, just like the other
female Con PM.
We are at risk of terror attacks and nuclear war whether we get involved or not. Do we really want the epitaph of this country to read "It was nothing to do with us so we didn't try to help". How pathetic and cowardly.
Thatcher acted out of principle (whether or not you agree with it).
And Theresa May?
You see the difference, don't you?
Replying to Gulliver 8:42.
//I don't think most of Assad's critics have thought that much about the consequences for Syria once he's gone//

I agree. What do they [his critics] think the ultimate result will be?
why are we getting involved ?

because we have had a poison attack in our homeland and the ones attacked didnt like it very much.

and yes jaw jaw is better than war war
but jaw jaw here is on the level of
" fee didnt poison liddle Yulia - because if fee trite - vee would have succeeded!"
and " Poison Yulia ? - fee haf never done something like that. Litvinenko was one long lie - lie as in deed - you know?"
// about the consequences for Syria once he's gone//

what is in Assads mind ? hmm good question - will we ever know ?
I think Farage got it right when he said a post Assad Syria might be run by Liberal Democrats, but the chances are that it will be run by Islamic nutters.
// "It was nothing to do with us so we didn't try to help". //
erm I think the historical quote is

It is a small country far away, about which we know nothing

( Chamberlain 1938 ) [yeah yeah hundreds of ABer quip - who chamberlain, why mention CzechoSlovakia for chrissakes, it doesnt even exist now]
//what is in Assads mind ? hmm good question - will we ever know//

A deep mystery, tho' not as deep as what's in Peter Pedant's mind.
// You see the difference, don't you?// v-e

as in you see the difference in War and War
yeah wow - AB in full flow today I see.
v_e at 08:51, //the chances are that it will be run by Islamic nutters. //

Undoubtedly.
\\// "It was nothing to do with us so we didn't try to help". //
erm I think the historical quote is //

erm that was my quote not an historical one.
ah what was in my mind is that there was a prime minister who did nothing in 1938 and who said about Czech - it is a small country about which etc ....as his excuse
and by doing nothing Chamberlain got involved in war anyway

altho war was predicted as a consequence by the fellow who was next prime minister

who that was is too much detail .... you arent really ignorant of the 1938 Munich crisis are you v-e ? - just saying you were for dramatic effect .....
// erm that was my quote not an historical one.//

erm shows that it was thunk before
nothing wrong widdat - its a compliment !

Chamberlain, Munich - 1938
hasnt anyone got history o level on this thread ?
