I used to mock non-interventionists like Corbyn, but events have proved them right
I hate to say it, but Jeremy Corbyn is right where I have been wrong. Corbyn’s protest that the Syrian intervention displays a 'lack of a strategy worth the name, the absence of credible ground troops, the missing diplomatic plan for a Syrian settlement…' was spot on. I am embarrassed to say that last year, I penned a rather conceited piece – for Spectator Australia, no less – in which I mocked proponents of non-intervention against the millennial, genocidal fascists of Isis. Having watched events since publication, I feel little but embarrassment.
