I'm not the best informed historian, but it seems to me that every time the west has assisted an Islamic country in the overthrow of of its government its ended badly for us e.g. the Shah of Iran -> the Ayatollah =death to the unbelievers. Afganistan help chuck out the USSR = Mujihadeen=> Taliban => death to the west
Libya get rid of Gaddafi => lets attack the US embassy & blow up the Ambassador.
If it was up to me I'd let them get on with it its not worth British money or lives.
Those brave freedom fighters in Syria seem to have a habit of murdering any Christians they encounter. Doesn't bode well for us when they take over does it? History suggests these guys don't appreciate any assistance its a mistake to think we can dabble & get favours later on. Its just naive thinking.
