This is not Bush/Blair and Iraq. This is about national security and if it prevents ANY terror atrocities anywhere in the world then long may it continue. If you want to gun down defenceless people sitting on a beach, or hack to death a young man like Lee Rigby in the most horrific way imaginable, or indeed subscribe to those views, in my book you deserve all that is coming your way and stuff the niceties or legality of it.
They're a f***ing evil threat to Gaza and its occupants. As long as they're not harming us though, we'll just let them carry on with illegally grabbing land, imposing blockades, and murdering children. Where as HAMAS are a lovley bunch of people.

I understand that we are all different and are all entitled to our opinions but reading the liberal/left apologist views of some people makes me despair. then again IS may well respond to us asking them nicely to stop for a bit so we can have a chat about a solution. I would also like to know why this is being compared to the israelies or the falklands conflict. IS, is a very specific problem and a "gloves off" pro active policy seems to be the only option that will work. please dont start about human rights or due process as these people are not worthy of either. Who on this thread has been an apologist for the 'so called' islamic state? Name and shame them with evidence of their support. We could get them arrested for treason and everything I reckon.

Yes, but if you don't stick to the legality of it, you pretty much end up becoming the people bombing innocent people at a wedding or the wrong guy (because he has the same name). As far as I'm concerned taking out the enemy is legitimate use of force, but when you're operating in areas of 'questionable' actions, you need oversight and independent evaluation to keep you from drift. Look at the Israeli response to Black September. They went from killing those directly involved and responsible, to ending up killing people who were entirely innocent or teniously linked to terrorism, because of 'mission creep'.

A look at the legal argument case in favour of the action taken [Link] Quite interesting, he seems to argue on the crux “Principles relevant to the scope of a state’s right of self-defense against an imminent or actual armed attack by nonstate actors” Yes, but determining the states right to self defense does also require proving that you acted in self defense and that it was reasonable to assume an imminent or actual attack. Before the first tank crossed the Iraq border the Prime Minister and Intelligence services were telling us that 'Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction and was capable of hitting the UK and deploying them within 45 minutes of an order'. Along with the old 'buying uranium etc'. All of which were thoroughly unfounded and based on very selective choices of intelligence. In recent decades intelligence has become about 'justifying' what you did, and covering your arse, and that gets a lot of innocent people killed.

Either way the problem is that both sides have essentially backed themselves into a corner by killing civilians indiscriminately. A result of both sides acting out an escalating conflict of just killing and f**king over the people in the next country, hasn't actually done anything except make the problem a lot worse.

I do wonder whether the WWII would turn out the same if fought with the same media attention and social media outlets that exist now. People have a rose tinted view of the war but a lot of stuff went on that nowadays would have the left (I say that because it is primarily the left) in uproar. Propaganda, misinformation, internment, never mind the resistance and some of the dodgy actions that took place. War is an awful people die, innocent people, evil people, misguided etc. it's what happens. Computer games and Rambo seems to have made people think you can just take out the bad guys nice and cleanly.
Terrorists by any other name, the UN specifically identifies the right of a nation or recognized peoples, to resist occupation that is not by order of the security council. Furthermore, the UN laws stipulate that a occupying nation has to treat an occupied peoples as if they were their own people, to the best of their ability. Quite a few groups labeled terrorists, aren't, its just that there is no shared or definition of terrorism (Until the 90s, the US state department only regarded attacks in Israel or abroad as being terrorist actions - even when groups labeled terrorists were involved).

Edited by dannyh (10 Sep 2015 7.48am) He's got it wrong if you ask me, anyone not of officer rank, should be exempt from paying income tax entirely upto the 40% threshold (if you ask me), whilst in full service.
