Britain Just Voted To Bomb ISIS In Syria by Adefaze(m): 7:01am On Dec 03, 2015
Late on Wednesday, the British House of Commons voted 397 to 223 to approve Prime Minister David Cameron's plan to carry out airstrikes against ISIS targets inside Syria (previously, British bombs had only targeted ISIS in Iraq). Royal Air Force (RAF) strikes could begin within days or even hours.

The vote came after a long day of
contentious debate and dramatic speeches,perhaps most notably a rousing and fervent plea from Labour Party Shadow Foreign Secretary Hilary Benn. In a speech that moved some parliamentarians to tears, Benn called on Britain to help defeat these ISIS "fascists" who "hold our belief in tolerance and decency in contempt."

The context here is key: The British vote was a direct response to French President François Hollande's call for a global coalition to fight ISIS following the November attacks in Paris. The fact that Britain was responding to an attack that targeted one of
its closest allies helps explain some of the passion behind Benn's speech, which some of his colleagues called "moving,"
"immensely powerful," and "one of the great speeches to be given in this House of Commons."

And Nigeria is not a close allies to Britain? Or our leaders are yet to make a passionate and moving speech?

Do they seek for total annihilation of Nigerian by Bokoharam for a reason best known to them?

Is it not high time the incessant agitation in south east Nigeria be discussed on the world round table?

Is this cruelty, indifference or callousness?
