In reply to Ron Rees Davies:
> No. He probably believes that you can negotiate with the influential people around them - the Saudis, Iranians, Turks and others -
He probably does, although if you're a Christian or other minority in Syria, I think the idea of giving the Saudis a say seems like a sell out. The moral case for giving anything to the Saudis, is much beyond someone like Corbyn.
> and help to stabilise the area and promote more moderate Muslim doctrines rather than conducting a bombing campaign that helps ISIS turn everyone in the area (and muslims elsewhere) against the war-monger infidel Westerners.
Slightly less murderous muslims is more better than the more murderous ones?
The Saudis and the Kuwaitis seemed more than happy to pay the Westerners to beat Saddam, any port in a storm and all that.
ISIS is focused on Iraq, half their capability is in Mosul, itself just one city, if they were going to turn people into West haters, wouldn't that have happened already, considering we are bombing them there on a regular basis?
