I welcome the Tánaiste's comments. Will he remind Prime Minister Cameron of the lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan, that being, without a workable political plan, the use of force is a recipe for deep and prolonged trouble? An internationally and regionally backed deal is the only way out of this disaster. The US and Russia must talk. Does the Tánaiste not agree that they are the only players that can bring an end to this humanitarian crisis?
