Two Cheers For The Commons

[poliphilo]

I was thinking of writing a piece yesterday about how public opposition never seems to deter our leaders from going to war but I'm glad I didn't because it seems Cameron is now pulling back from his projected Syrian adventure. I guess he'd done the maths and realized he was likely to lose the vote in the Commons.

Our democracy is in a pretty rickety state but it still sometimes comes good.

Meanwhile, over here, the Great Hope of the Western World has drawn a "red line" and now must enforce it or lose face. I am hoping that our Congress will open a giant can of Whoop Ass.

I hope so too.
