Do not authorise the bombing of Syria by UK forces.
There is a simple concept in law, framed by Sir William Blackstone (1723 ~ 1780) that says:
"It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer."
How much truer must this be when this concept addresses the maiming and killing of the absolutely innocent; children.
The state holds an absolute moral responsibility for the collective action of its forces, as do the individual citizens for their own, and it is under this premise that the bombing of Syria by our military forces cannot be allowed. Every single human being is responsible for his own actions and if those actions include the killing of innocents the perpetrator will be held accountable to his maker.
