Prep for class discussion 12/01/17

Happy new year everyone.

This Thursday will be a final computer session where you can read the posts that others have made that you've missed and reply to them whilst in class we'll have a talking session. I'm happy for "us" to talk about any subjects that you bring to the session but in case you don't you can prepare to talk about a serious subject (that the M1 tackled this afternoon): International intervention

Should "we" have been involved in Syria or not and if so when. Below are some links to thoughts from British and US sources from a few years ago about whether the UK should get involved as well as thoughts on US and French involvement.

Read what you want from the above and use other sites of your own choice so that you can discuss with your colleagues your views on intervention in Syria and thoughts on other interventions both from the past and the future.

Have fun and tell everyone else to check this post too.

Can someone post it on the facebook account or wherever it is you all check regularly.

Is there anyone out there?
