Campaign of violence. This summer, it has taken control of iraqi cities and exploited the fragile political situation to cause terror and devastate morale. Isil has demonstrated that it has a serious stock of military equipment that it is prepared to use to attack indiscriminately. It must be stopped. In the past 20 years, the the United Nations has moved, and it now places a responsibility on its Member States to deal with genocide when it occurs in the world. That does not, in my view, require a Security Council resolution. We need to do something when people are threatened in this world. I will say more about internationalism shortly. Some people will say that the conflict is not our fight, and we should leave it to those who are closer by. For those who feel strongly, it is tempting to offer a counsel of despair and walk away. It is much harder to set about dealing with violent threats in a complicated context where the risks are high. In response, i say that we all want peace, and
Democratic state; and a world order governed by rules, if it is about anything, must be about protecting a Democratic State, which is what the motion before us is about. I believe that, although this is difficult, it is the right thing to do. There is no graver decision for our parliament and our country, but protecting our national interest, security and the values for which we stand is why i will be supporting the motion this afternoon.

There is a Clear Strategy and plan in relation to that. Personally, i think that a lot more work needs to be done on what exactly the route map is in syria. Those are the particular issues that i raise in relation to syria. I want to make some progress with my argument, if the house will allow me. Isil is not simply a murderous organisation. As the Prime Minister said, it has ambitions for a state of its own a caliphate across the middle east, run according to its horrific norms. And values. That is why i believe, and established in the first part of my remarks, that we cannot simply stand by against the threat of isil. In acting against it we need to learn the lessons from the past. We should be clear about this with the british people. That means a comprehensive strategy humanitarian and political, as well as military, and, crucially, rooted in the region. Some of that work is under way, but i believe that much more needs to be done. There is a reality that the house must face up to
Simple world to American Foreign policy since americas preeminence after the Second World War and based on a very simple binary. Who can we bomb . Who can retake out to lunch . So china is a unique country because they went from being a country that belonged on the two bomb list to take out to lunch list.
