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.

We're so cross at the Syrians for killing other Syrians that we're going to wade in and kill some Syrians too. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
