Hence the major refugee crisis that we are experiencing at present, which is driving countries to intervention.

I don't see how negotiation with ISIS will be possible I'm afraid. However, looking beyond ISIS, negotiation and diplomacy have to be given top priority in this, otherwise we will never be able to find a solution.

So even if I do (reluctantly) support military action, it has to be only part of a much wider strategy for bringing an end to the conflict in Syria.

No. Just as airstrikes against Libya weren't justified (actually they were based on proven lies). polly7 Nov 2015 #4
