Price or cost? I reckon the cost of each Misile is the death of a fair few innocent people. So it’s about how you reckon those innocent lives cost or the price we put on them, and are they worth the tally score at the end of the shootout? £800000 for a tomahawk. How much for a life?
And how would Tomahawks save civilian lives? Are we going to put special forces on the ground so that we can identify every possible delivery system that might be hiding in and around the country and then mark the target for attack, as Tomahawks are for all intents and purposes GPS guided.
Not to mention at the moment the Syian Army is fighting the Kurds who are fighting Al Nusra who are in an uneasy alliance with the FSA who are fighting the Syrian Army. Al-Nusra were caught with 2kg of Sarin in Turkey btw.
So when Assad is gone the Kurds are probably going to end up fighting both Al Nusra and the FSA, whilst the latter will both be fighting each other.
So if saving lives is the goal why not shorten the war and save lives by giving Assad the capability of blitzkrieging both the Kurds, the FSA and Al Nusra?
To many ethnic backgrounds with to many religious variations in to small an area with easy access to weapons coupled with lots of angry young men, poor education or low IQ’s and the idea that god is on their side.
