The war in Syria

Dear Sir,

I urge Christians to oppose further military intervention in Syria. Britain has been openly involved militarily in Syria since 2015. More bombing or other action can only prolong the cycle of violence and therefore increase the suffering of the Syrians. It also risks a potentially catastrophic confrontation with Russia. The only rational political response is to oppose military intervention from all sides and do everything possible to promote a political solution.
