ARMCHAIR warrior Nick Webb should be honest. He should know from recent history that the only success from another war will be the military industrial complex.
Barbaric Isis has fed off the despair generated by previous ill-fated interventions which killed half-a-million children from genocidal UN sanctions and up to one million civilians –- women and children killed in the course of bringing “freedom and democracy” to Iraq. Countless millions maimed, traumatised and displaced.
We need to tell our elected reps to stop feeding the insatiable war machine and telling lies. Stop arming the next group of useful militants and pretending war will solve everything and instead find peaceful and just solutions.
