#DontBombSyria



I think we are all aware of what happened at the Syrian air strikes vote. David Cameron, somehow, managed to win a majority, and so already, and within just hours of the vote, four British Tornados hit seven targets in Eastern Syrian oilfields, with more to come very shortly.

My thoughts? Disgusting. I'm with Corbyn on this one, and quite frankly I am very disappointed in Mr Cameron. How, in God's name, can we stop bombing by bombing? As the well known campaign slogan goes, "Bombing for peace is like fucking for virginity." It just won't work. As a young girl I was always taught that "you can't fight fire with fire", but here are our MP's, people we are trusting to represent our views, deciding to go against the majority of the public, and agreeing to kill thousands of innocent Syrian men, women and children, as well as potentially getting us involved in WW3.
We were all devastated over the atrocities that happened in France, both last month and in the Charlie Hebdo attack of last year, and it is greatly understandable that everyone wants to shut ISIS down, however killing innocent people who are already suffering so much is not the answer. Unfortunately, however, I don't quite know what the answer is, nobody seems to. I was very moved by the support for Paris after the attacks, "when the city of lights went dark, everywhere else lit up for it" by lighting major landmarks with the colours of the French flag, and by the support posted on social media with hashtags such as #PrayForParis and #PrayForPeace- I was one of those people who showed support in that way, however I think that now our support should turn to Syria.
