Last night MP's voted against any military intervention from the UK into Syria, a massive blow to Cameron, but one I am extremely glad of, and I think secretly so is Cameron.
Firstly I think lessons from Iraq have been, even though DC tried to persuade us 'This is not like Iraq', how has Iraq fared since the Western world intervened? Probably more hostile now than ever before.
What's happening in Syria is awful, vile and down right plan disgusting. The pictures, and videos of men, women and children dying is just horrendous, and sickening to see someone do that to their own people.
How would military intervention help them? How would warfare help them? How would the added risk of bombs hitting, and killing them help them? How can anymore blood shed help them?
I'm proud of every MP who voted against last night, I don't care what party, I don't care if you did it just to have a pop at David Cameron, or Tony Blair, it was the right choice to make.
A few months a go I spent a week with ex-military soldiers, wounded soldiers injured from Iraq and Afghanistan, and asked them their opinion on whether we should intervene, as they are the ones who see would, and have seen what happens when the West intervene.
Every single person told me it was the worst thing to do, not only for them, but for the people of Syria, and I couldn't agree more.
One the wounded soldiers said to me the old saying 'You can't fight fire, with fire.'
They also spoke about the cost of intervening militarily, not only in lives, but in money, our economy is starting to head in the right direction, this would put us back trillions upon trillions of pounds, and we owe it to ourselves not to put our hard working class families through anymore hardship.
War only brings blood, death, and sorrow, never peace.
