Hooray for the British!

I am an Anglophile!

My ethnic background is Hungarian, Armenian, and German. Even so, my objectivity has brought me to the conclusion that the English have made the greatest contribution of all nationalities to world stability.

You may question the previous imperialistic policies of England, but those same policies have made a great contribution to world organization. The English and their associated Welch and Scottish brethren are clear thinkers. They have made a few major mistakes, such as intentionally withdrawing from world domination and allowing Muslims to overrun their society, but the British government is still pure in English mentality. In addressing any world problem, they first ask, "What is in it for us?", and secondly, "Is it good for the world?"

For the past few days, our TV news has been full of chemical weapon use in the Syrian civil war. The major drumbeater for US war against the Syrian Assad Regime is the new US Secretary of State, John Kerry. The UN has faced its responsibility and has recently investigated chemical weapon use with a team on Syrian soil. The team report has not yet been issued. Meanwhile based presumably on the Kerry drum beating, British Prime Minister, David Cameron called for a vote in the British Parliament on whether the UK should support the US in a military action against the Assad regime The British Parliament is a combination of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, equivalent to the US Congress, which is composed of the House of Representatives and the Senate.

The British Parliament, voted "no" on independent involvement in the Syrian conflict and therefore the UK would not support the US on any military action against Syria. David Cameron said the vote was the will of the British people, and I say. "Hooray for the British people". Clear thinking, as opposed to the muddle headed thinking of John Kerry. We don't know the basis of the negative British Parliament vote, but it probably involved a judgment that a British war would not be advantageous to the British people and Britain cannot be the world policeman for every atrocity that crops up.

The US government should take serious note.
