British Jets Hit ISIS in Syria After Parliament Authorizes Airstrikes
Keywords:
Britain's prime minister Cameron wins a parliamentary vote 397 to 223 on December 2, 2015, for military action in Syria
12/02/2015
After losing a vote in parliament for action in Syria following the use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime, prime minister Cameron wins by a large majority in 2015. His argument in the House of Commons was that it was better to strike the militants in their home bases in the Middle East before they strike in Britain. This follows terrorist attacks in France in Nov. 2015. Britain is already involved in military action in Iraq using airstrikes so it made little sense not to include Syria say analysts, as the Islamic State operates in both countries. Labor was split on the vote, with its leader Jeremy Corbyn voting against and allowing Labor members to vote freely to avoid resignations in the Labor party.

The WSJ on the withdrawal of the European governments from the Middle East and North Africa, the Obama administration's similar policies, and the refugee crisis in Europe
09/08/2015
What happens in North Africa, does not necessarily remain there, says this WSJ editorial, even if European governments and the Obama administration would prefer it to be that way. The withdrawal from the Middle East and North Africa under Hollande, Merkel and Obama, says the Journal, has led to the situation where the entire region is unravelling and being torn apart, leading to millions of refugees in first Turkey and Jordan, and now in Europe. True it says there are risks in intervening, but points to the Iraq where normalcy of life was returning to Baghdad by the end of the Bush administration, and the unraveling beginning only with Hollande (the departure of Sarkozy leaving Cameron alone), and the Obama administration's withdrawal from the Middle East (no action in Libya and Syria, and withdrawal in Iraq), Germany's traditional non-interventional role.

The efforts of Britain's Cameron and France's Hollande in 2013 to provide arms to the Free Syrian Army and opposition forces
03/15/2013
Hollande says we cannot stand by and let a people be massacred. Hollande and Cameron prepare to take up this issue at an EU meeting in March 2013 to lift a EU arms embargo for Syria. This follows the earlier effort by Cameron and Sarkozy to provide arms to opposition forces in Libya leading to the fall of the Gaddafi regime.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
