NATO ought to have been dissolved 20 years ago, its job done. But instead, we are now in it alongside what is now Islamist Turkey, which, along with our dear friends in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, has been invading Syria for months, bring in jihadis from the ends of the earth, including the United Kingdom.
We stand on the brink of war in that cause, the cause of creating a Salafi state in Syria, putting to the sword the Christians, the Shi'ites, the Alawites, the Druze and indeed any other dissenters; the Syrian-backed Prime Minister of closely connected Lebanon is a Sunni and the head of a Sunni party, sitting in Parliament for the solidly Sunni city of Tripoli.
Following Human Rights Watch's unsurprising report into abuses by Hamas in the Gaza Strip, remember that Hamas is an old enemy of the Assads' Syria - they were exchanging their customary pleasantries only in the last couple of days - just as it was of Saddam's Iraq, the overthrow of which it supported, whereas the (historically Christian-led) secular nationalists of Fatah opposed, as long ago as the first Gulf War in 1991.
We have already turned Iraq into a giant version of the Gaza Strip under Hamas. We have done the same thing to Libya. Are David Cameron and William Hague about to do the same thing to Syria, all for the sake of the Turkish AKP and the House of Saud? Who is going to stop them?
