Bombing Syria my thoughts

So some of the politicians want to bomb Syria, to benifit who I wonder.

Why I think we shouldnt;

Civilians get killed because ISIS hide among civilians.

There are already too many planes flying around and bombing Syria, some of the countries involved have said that already when Russia began to get involved. It would have to be worse if we got involved wouldn't it?

If the Americans, the French and others have been bombing Syria for ages and still ISIS are strong, what difference can we make, are we so good?

What about troops on the ground I heard some general this week thinks that ISIS can be defeated in a couple of weeks. Where have we heard such stuff before eh, WW1 etc etc. ISIS will melt away to come out when our troops or others have gone by just as in Iraq and Afghanistan for starters, they dont fight in uniform and obey rules of engagement.

Yes we do perhaps need to join the fight against ISIS but lets please use some intelligence and common sense, there are other ways of defeating ISIS widely discussed in the media who are finding out more and more about them. Our armed services will fight as they are directed, but they are not there to be politicians playthings or reputation builders.

Have you ever wondered about the state of the UK's birds

If you ever just stand out there in your garden and the street and take a bit of pleasure in the call and activity of the birds around you, have a look on the internet for; The State of the UK's Birds 2015.

You could try looking at the websites of the BTO or the RSPB, go on have a look and if you are not concerned at what you see you are a braver than me. The situation for farmland birds is to my mind dire, and other groups are faring badly as well.

The problem is of course birds are the thin end of the wedge, other animal/wildlife groups such as reptiles and plants are also faring badly and we are supposed to love wildlife in this country.

Walk outside again and listen to those birds or watch them feeding, then think what if they were not there, what would you think would it mean anything to you. To me it would mean the loss of a very important part of my soul.

We should all be worried and asking why and what can we do.
