I'm inclined to agree with you, but what do you think Russia's reaction will be if we strike without a UN resolution to do so?
I keep wondering if this whole thing is a Russian trap. Putin conceivably can make a statement that Russia will defend it's ally if the West unilaterally attacks Syria without a U.N. resolution (which the West can't get because Russia will veto it.) This would leave Cameron/Obama in a totally untenable position. If "we" attack anyway, then as another poster suggested, Britain loses a ship or two, say, via Russian sub, and THEN what do Cameron/Obama do?
In the only polling I've seen so far (TV) the opinion was running well over 80% that we should stay out of any involvement in Syria.

I wonder if boy bigears is being told how unpopular his Syrian sand trap is.
And if so, in what heavy handed way he will ignore it.
Or if instead his advisors paint rosy images of children throwing flowers at his feet as people rejoice.
It could be like in the Soviet politburo where the ministers presented only what the supreme soviet wanted to hear, because to do otherwise meant a nine millimeter brain hemorrhage.
Nothing except for some verbal protests and possibly sending more arms to Syria. There will be NO Russian military action.
