Quite agree, canary.
Just when we are going to learn to mind our own business and not get involved in matters we cannot hope to properly influence is a question which should warrant urgent attention. But instead even today we have the Foreign Secretary banging his chest and making preliminary arrangements to become embroiled in yet another conflict which we do not properly understand and siding with a faction about which we know virtually nothing. It’s but a short step from there to sending in a few troops “to assist the Syrian opposition” (whoever they might be) and another short step to Syrians making their way to Europe to seek revenge for our inappropriate actions. There was a very appropriate quote from a mother whose family had been bombed out somewher in Syria: "I son't like this government, but has anybody paused to think how the rebels might behave if they gain power?"
We cannot influence these conflicts in the long term (as will be adequately demonstrated if and when we leave Afghanistan) and, as tragic as they are, we should keep well out of them. Outlawing “radicalisation” smacks of stable doors and horses I’m afraid.
