Syria's war has killed more than 170,000 people since March 2011.
The West has barely been involved in Syria - this idea that Iraq would have been a relative panacea had the USA (Lets not kid ourselves that UK non involvement would have changed a single thing either) not invaded is a nonsense.
Assad is a murderous dictator, so was Saddam and so is Ibrahim (He seems to be the worst of the lot mind).
What I fear is about to happen to the Yazidis stuck up the mountain is going to be one of the worst episodes for humanity since Rwanda.
Israel needs to stop illegally settling the West Bank and engage with the moderatish Fatah, but they are surrounded by utter loons - which probably explains their paranoia.
Its the West and Sunni Arab support that has kept the rebels going and prolonged the war and bolstered the death toll.
I struggle to think how Iraq could be worse off the Iraq war was and is a disaster.
Israel invaded Gaza to stop the Fatah-Hamas unity government. Israel has no more intention now than they did before, when they have spiked every single peace process, to engage with Fatah or anyone else. Sure the Middle East has been found by social scientist to tend toward extreme end hyper-collectivism and hyper-ethnocentrism, explaining the chronic instability of the region, but the Israelis are Semites too and are probably to the extreme of this extreme. That is even bigger loons than there supposed loony neighbours.
Mr. Eagles, not sure anyone's ever accused you of subtlety.
Mr. Flag, it's a bit before my time but didn't Ehud Barak make a decent Clinton-brokered offer to Yasser Arafat, who (for reasons unknown) rejected it, only to regret his refusal later?

You'd be wrong, It is said about me, that I'm as subtle as a brick through a window

Only Rabin has offered a genuine workable peace deal, which is why an Orthodox Jew blew him up. Now it is too late, the fast growing Orthodox would initiate a civil war.
Thanks! Was hoping it was a "friend in the car park seeing him go into Melwood for a medical" kind of source; but the bookies seem confident....
The "which club will x go to" markets are the biggest mug bets on offer
Should people in Merseyside be concerned about groups of Colombian men moving in as neighbours?
If they are Evertonians, then yes.
However there is no chance Liverpool are signing Falcao. One supposed expert on twitter seems capable of changing the world nowadays. I'd love to know what his after tax wages are in Monaco.
Thanks Artist. A 22-point lead on this sample - hey, I'll settle for that...
Looks like your on your way back to The Commons!!!!!
I'm sticking to "quietly hopeful". But we might do a PB meet there if I do get back. They're not cheap (think £20/head including drinks and nibbles) but would be nice to do a cross-party event. However, first ...

I've backd the draw to get zero liability on it - I think the Indians will recover their position somewhat now, might relay draw if they get to 100-4 maybe

@HafsahPalestina 3m More Reports coming in that Yazidi Kurds trapped are throwing their children off mountains to avoid seeing them starve to death or taken by ISIS
Have you seen this youtube clip sean of a Iraqi women MP on about the slaughter
That is very cheap indeed for Labour MPs, Isam. Even for former ones.
Well, that's you un-invited :-). Just had a fish dinner in a pleasant restuarant for £2 (OK, it's Beijing). Can't remember the last time I spent £20 on a meal. A video game, certainly. Books, maybe. But for food that you eat in 10 minutes? Pshaw.
isam, it's not too bad considering the ambiance, but obviously more than having a drink at Dirty Dick's. But it might be a bit of a special occasion so with luck anyone interested could come. It'd be nice to meet some of the unknown (to me) faces like yourself. (Oh all right, and PClipp)
If i lose, you could try asking Boris - it's the sort of thing that might amuse him.

For now off to cricket at Derby TMS in ear piece.

Not with Jon Snow, Owen Jones or even pro-Israeli bloggers...
It's hard to imagine little Owen Jones having much influence on anything... Sounds fun.
Perhaps Mossad can oblige.
To the gallows...
£20 inc food and drink is quite cheap?

What's the difference between what ISIS are doing, and what Hamas would like to do?
