Sir Michael Fallon's branding of Corbyn a
"pacifist" was a clumsy attack that allowed Corbyn to side step
explaining the worrying contradictions in his foreign policy world view. Corbyn has waxed lyrical about the alleged
folly of intervening in Iraq and Syria against IS or the Assad regime. Yet he has completely ignored the fact that
not only has Iraq officially requested our help, in Syria a lack of
intervention on our part has not stopped the Russians taking advantage of the
situation. Talking about acting through
the UN to bring about peace in Syria is as good as advocating for doing nothing
given the Russian veto on meaningful action.
What Corbyn should be asked is how far would he go to save many lives if
there were no easy options?
