Don’t align Canada on the side of violence

Re: “PM makes case for air strikes inside Syria,” March 25. Let us pull back from this war madness. Bombing and killing a few ISIS rebels might gratify a sense of anger and frustration in the face of their bad actions.

Let us pull back from this war madness.

Bombing and killing a few ISIS rebels might gratify a sense of anger and frustration in the face of their bad actions. But that is no proper reason to fly halfway around the world to seek a war. This just aligns Canada on the side of malice and violence.

Going into Syria would make things worse.

If we model violence, we will stimulate more of it. If we want peace, prosperity and democracy, we need to model those, for ourselves and others.
