I also don't advocate negotiating with IS either!! they've got to be wiped out. But political negotiations and settlements in Iraq and Syria will have to happen at some point in the future obviously.

You really think they want to sit down and negotiate with the West ?? ? or anyone for that matter ? ? ?

Cameron's 'gesture politics' will be a disastrous move. Genuinely surprised that anybody with even the tiniest bit of sense can't see this tbh.

Just e mailed Wayne David to tell him he has lost my vote. TUSC again then.

Not sure what has happened to this thread?? But, no, absolutely not. Zero point in having any dialogue whatsoever with an apocalyptic death cult!! They and their barbaric ideology much be destroyed.

I don't really care but at least have the decency to say what you really mean. Eh????

Where we differ is I believe that British bombs are definitely not the right solution (or any part of any solution), in fact they are the last thing such a complex problem needs.

Of course, because it's not at all like it wasn't stark bleeding obvious..

I wrote to my MP to suggest that if any bombing has to be done then they should concentrate first on the oil fields which provide the main source of income for IS. In that way hopefully no harm would come to the civilian population. And look what happened...

am I being a bit naive here or would it be easier to find out who the main man is and take him out of the equation. The rest of the organisation will then begin to crumble?

You would like to think so but this is not a "normal" organisation. There are probably many fanatical second-in-commands who could take over.

If that was to happen, Repeat the process?
