We do not have the appetite for killing people in response to dictators killing people. The UK government did not listen to the people when they marched against Iraq. The UK people had no choice over Afghanistan as Blair agreed to that one in secret phone calls with the lunatic Bush.
Barack may well want to test a few cruise missiles but what good will that do? Why does the USA always feel the need to intervene? Look at Central America, South America, Indochina, Timor and Polynesia, when will they ever learn?
We in the UK do not want to be the poodles to American foreign policy, we are no longer the world empire / police and the population are so disillusioned with the democratic process they feel utterly hopeless and drink to forget, or pray to the opium of consumerism.
Dave, do not be a hero, for once stand up to the USA and say "No".

You cant pick and chose the enemy.
On a brighter note I applaud Bradley Manning's desire to be a Woman, just as he gets to spend 60 years in Guantanamo or wherever he is going to.
And I have yet to receive any proof that Edward Snowden actually exists and is not just a construct to boost America's tough guy approach to "National Security"
