IT’S amazing how we still seem content on spending time and resources in Afghanistan when Al Qaeda have already moved on, letting men die and trying to impose a democracy on a country which has never previously had one, but we cannot find the guts to interfere in Syria.

How long will this continue?

We must act now, otherwise it will start affecting the greater world. It is quite clear that we will not win the war on terrorism when we can not win the hearts and minds of the people; however, there is a genuine chance for us to change the world for the better here.

Let’s take it.
