    Down the bottom there is a button called start a poll. Then you select how many options and I think name the options.

    Numerous countries have suffered at the hands of ISIS including the UK, do we sit back and allow other countries to fight our fight, or do we play our part ? its easy for me to sit here and say yes, but I do believe ISIS are on a different level to other terrorist organisations, and I believe we should play our part in reducing them to a level where they cannot continue to wage terror against everyone who is not part of ISIS. They have brought this on themselves and unfortunately there can be only one outcome, and we have to be part of helping to achieve the final outcome.
    I realise this will almost inevitably mean some of our Military personnel could well lose there lives, but in cases of defending or preventing further loss of lives, and more Terrorist attacks then this has to be done, we cant just sit back and allow others to fight our fight..

    Got to do something even though it's a few years later than it should have been done, clinical bombing would have worked a few years back, now it may have to be carpet bombing. Not good

    something has to be done, every effected country should take its part,

    but what concerns me is those who live in such as uk, the enemy within,

    along with bombing the terrorists, obama and all responsible for creating isis should be up for war crimes

    wipe them out of syria then send the refugees and migrants back home, as soon as its safe, but we know they wont send them back,

    another thing that plays my mind, you see all theses young strong men fleeing syria, how come they are not staying and fighting for their country

    I agree with lots of your points, but we also need to remember that ISIS also murder lots of Muslims who have differing views to there own, so at some stage ISIS would likely have come into being without Obama, I think that's just an excuse for the existence of ISIS who really have NO part in todays World.

    Thank you, Phil ... though, I must be missing something ... as I'm still looking for that elusive 'button' you've mentioned.

    Yes, I'd noticed that, Rayna. Although - as I've already said to Phil - for some unknown reason ... ... seems I am still none the wiser!

    Yes I voted for the strikes too but the way I see it- its a catch 22 situation.Damned if you do and damned if you don't.Yes there will always be bloodshed and always a loss of life.As per usual they are fighting an endless battle.you chop 1 head off and 3 more appear to fill that void.These ISIS fighters are fearless and not afraid to die for their cause which makes them almost unbeatable.77 virgins are a huge incentive to them and their families good name is another that they die for.The Russians tried it way back in Afghanistan and we all remember the Iraqi war.In that part of world there will always be turmoil and unrest and there always be a war to fight in the name of Allah.Sometimes I think it would be better just to let them kill each other.It makes no sense!!

    I am sure we all have different takes on it and thousands of arguments to be made.This is all about religion in one form or another.There WILL be dark days ahead that's for sure!!

    I voted don't know, simply because I do not know!
    Of course if our Members of Parliament could be relied on to tell us the truth it would make understanding easier.

    My personal thinking is that air strikes alone don't bring about a big enough change quickly.
    IS occupy and control huge swathes of land. That land represents a huge source of income.

    The coalition needs to develop a strategy to take that land and squeeze the cash revenues from IS

    Someone is buying oil from IS sources. Someone from NATO.
    Those providing cash to IS need to be controlled.

    Meanwhile, ... as the nation awaits the Government's mandate with bated breath, the 'powers that be' are likely to have little (if any) hesitation in resurrecting the "Home Guard" to banish a frail nonogenarian grandmother from the country.

    I think it will continue for a number of years, I voted yes but having said that have very mixed feelings to be truthful Steve. With reference to your second comment, yes that always happens as soon as one problem is resolved some other uprising starts elsewhere and there is never an end to conflict, makes one wonder if the Western world is really to blame!

    America has been bombing the scum since 2014 and we have Russian French Jordanian and Turkish planes as well as German support craft plus one or two more countries involved, it begs the question how many planes do you need to defeat a so called army of 30,000 odd.
    Much more effort should be put into calling the Arab nations to account who support these lot and Turkey who are quite clearly financing them by buying the Oil.
    To my mind things are far more sinister that what we're being told by those in power and as a Londoner living and working in London I'm just a wee bit nervous about what is about to come our way.

    Yes we should. We have already been doing so, just not across one particular line in the sand into what was once Syria. They definitely need a plan for 'post ISIS' but I'm tired of hearing the vocal minority bleating on about this on the news, Facebook and elsewhere. The simple fact is the majority of the country know that we HAVE to help, we can't just sit aside. Putting a mult-step plan in place is definitely the next thing, but right now it will take time to wear these buggers down.

    Question: Who is selling them weapons? OK, so Saudi nutters are helping with the funding for sure, but how are they getting bullets and guns?

    I think you'll find i has already come our way, and is all around us. The secret services are getting lots of overtime pay. Bombing these nutters will not change that IMO. Didn't someone in the know recently admit that they have stopped around 10-12 major attacks in the UK in the past 12 months?
