(Telegraph) Archbishop Justin Welby warns against 'rushing to judgment' over Syria intervention

The Most Rev Justin Welby insisted that MPs must ask themselves whether they are “sure” about the facts on the ground before acting amid a “really delicate and dangerous situation”.

Archbishop Welby, who spent several years promoting reconciliation in war zones in Africa and the Middle East, insisted that there were “numerous intermediate steps” between doing nothing and full regime change in Syria which could be considered.

But speaking to The Daily Telegraph, he acknowledged that there was no “good answer” to the crisis in Syria and that a simple solution “just doesn’t exist”.

    I suppose he would have us discuss the problem for 20 years or so before making any kind of decision.

    IMHO, discussing the problem for 20 years would be a better option than going to war on the basis of questionable evidence and possibly forming an alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood abd Al-Qaeda.

    My mistake “abd Al-Qaeda” should be “and or Al-Qaeda”.
