David Cameron loses Syria vote in Commons
"British MPs have voted against possible military action against Syria to deter the use of chemical weapons.
David Cameron said it was clear the British Parliament does not want action and "I will act accordingly".
The government motion was defeated 285 to 272, a majority of 13 votes."

I suppose I should have said relevant country. Turkey is relevant I admit, but I've heard nothing about their present position on this. Perhaps you're better informed than I am?
Australia is likely even less relevant than Canada, which is very hard to believe.
No. I'm afraid that the US alone are the ones making total twats of themselves this time, with unforeseeable, but most probably disastrous consequences for the rest of us.
I think the lesson here is that, despite one's enthusiasm for Obama some years ago, no US President can actually control the military-oil-industrial complex.
Another lesson is that nobody ever learns from their mistakes.
Sad really. Ah, well.
