Titania,
War is NEVER moral. The best that can be hoped for is an attitude such as the one Abraham Lincoln expressed in his second inaugural address.

To be honest, I think that Obama expressed a similar attitude toward war to Lincoln's in his Nobel Peace Prize speech. See video below.
I don't know about Cameron or Tony Blair. You can judge them more accurately than I can.
That said, please never think that I think that war is moral in any sense.
As to Syria being a possible spark to World War III, see my response to jammer above.

No Gaddafi was a Tyrant so is Assad and others, to many to mention. We have helped to keep them all so, have we not ? Some we even help onto their 'thrones', did we not ?
These are increadably complex and very Ancient Lands. When it suits us, as it has recently, they are baddies so we zap them and when it suits us they are ok just abit of a bully but you know 'these Arabs need a strong hand' ....lost myself ......oh yes
To think that we have any right to interfer is not only illegal but it is without due care of the peoples or their Lands. As aweful as it is to watch people in such a terrible plight how on earth can our much much worse violence help ? If our so called leaders ( I spit ) really really wanted to help ( as they did on the Gold Coast at the same time as Libya ? Just as frightful a massacre, worse even ) there would be no wars at all IRP None at all. If there was no 'Politics' going on, just real care, all Nations together would be helping to stop all massacres by peacful means.
This is business, no more nor less. What should we do ? We are not in a position to do anything, neither of our countries have a moral leg to stand on. Not even half a moral leg.
The moment the Egyptians ousted Mubarack who was on the first plane to Cairo ? Cameron ( I spit ) and who did he take with him ? Arms dealers. Who was on the next plane ? La Clinton( I double spit ) upping the back handers to the Military to make sure they brutalise the Egyptian people more !!!!!! We are dirty IRP to pretend that our reasons and therefore any out come of our interferences would be for the good of the people is not to know ourselves.
But Syria would be the beginning of WW111 .............................. and whether it happens or not is down to the American people. No one else at all.
