To wonder how all the people wearing the French flag on FB feel now they've bombed Syria?

[TheHouseOnTheLane]

So..."everyone" popped a French flag on their FB profile in sympathy with Paris.

Now France has shot over there and dropped 20 bombs on ISIS HQ and training centre.

So...people are happily condoning war really.

Why not all change profile pics to a peace sign?

I know ISIS are bad...but as we all say, violence solves nothing. Nothing.

Ummm.... Mephistopheles... what are people in our society who were targets of war criminals or theown into the military against their will previously (and there are lots) supposed to do? Oh yeah, just die again.

I'm not sure what you mean.

My brother is in the forces. I don't think your description is an accurate one.

So, there is already very good reason to believe that IS were brought into being and maintained by western influence (to put it mildly).

There are also ongoing indications that IS could be got rid of if we really wanted.

When will we as a general public wake up to the idea that the UK, France and the US (and others) need, want and create the "Muslim baddies" (who in reality have very little to do with Islam) like IS to give us dramatic "enemies" to justify invasion in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, etc.? I'm not denying for a moment that these terrorist organisations exist, and that and they have done horrific, terrible things. But that situation actually really suits our western governments and those who profit from war, and so they have ensured that these events will happen. At the moment, our governments want to bomb Syria. They will find the justification to do so, one way or another.
