Why Do We Kill People Who Kill People To Show That Killing People Is Wrong? (credits from a protestor's sign)

I don't usually write or comment about political topics but this particular subject gave a huge tug at my heartstrings.

About more than 24 hours ago, the British Parliament had voted into a decision regarding how to make UK safer after a 10-hour debate. The verdict? Yes in starting airstrikes in Syria. Merely within a few hours after David Cameron announced results of the voting on UK's national television, the British Royal Air Force had carried out their first airstrikes in Syria.

What is the most sickening thing is how the decision was made based on votes. Deciding to start airstrikes upon Syria is not something as simple as deciding whether the prices in oil should be increased or not. These are innocent lives, we are talking about. Do they really think that their bombs are so highly technologinised to the point there are GPS targetting only ISIS? Yeah, I hardly think they are that stupid, which just proves that in the back of their mind, they KNOW innocent lives will be at risk. If they didn't learn that from the war in Iraq in 2003, then they have been living under rocks. No, not even JUST under rocks. Under rocks in PLUTO. 

And don't they dare say "oh, well, that's just part of war. There will always be collateral damage."

They won't be saying that if it's another country voting in favour to bomb their homes, now will they?

And please stop trying to defend them by saying, "oh, well we can't just sit back and do nothing! Why don't YOU come up with a solution?"

So it's not their jobs to come up with the best solution? Heck, if all it means being in the parliament is voting for the most violent and easiest way out, then I also can surely enter the parliament. Piece of cake.

I applaud the British public for standing up and publically protesting the decision their government made. Which just shows every government is the same. They never listen to their people. The good people of Britain even started a trending hashtag #NotInMyName to show they do not support this atrocious decision, and this proves that whoever agreed to this decision have no concious whatsoever.

For the 397 British Parliament that voted for yes, including the dear prime minister of Britain, what do you think about after that long debate, when you are tucking your children in for bed that night, them safe and warm under the covers, while 3000 miles away from you, Syrian parents are tucking in their children, kissing their foreheads, and placing a hand on their child's heart, with the thought that this may be the very last time they feel their child's heart beating, anticipating for the bombs to come, just because all you did was vote yes?

Wow. It's that simple to take out an innocent life. That's even worse than being cold-blooded murderers. Do you guys even sleep at night?

To the victims of this evil war, I pray that God will protect you and you are all martyr. Aamiin.
