| Essentially I will complain to anyone who will listen particularly anyone adopting the ostrich position. What I will be complaining about is the mind-set of intolerance that allows anyone to see/perceive/talk of other human beings as being of less value than themselves (simply because they believe in "another" God or no God at all). I know that in theory I should be tolerant of people who are intolerant but - I am not. "Bombing other countries won't stop terrorism in this one." Targeted bombing of key individuals can and will stop training camps operating, bombs being manufactured and bombing campaigns being launched. The danger of course is that innocent people are killed at the same time and that the cycle of violence just continues. Targeted bombing of economic targets can help cut off or reduce the sources of funding for a group like IS. The British Arms industry does not make Kalashnikovs or semtex or so far as I am aware export them. The agents of terror will however always find weapons from somewhere - as we all know this can and may well include nuclear, biological and chemical weapons that are very much NOT part of Britain's legitimate arms trade. |
