Don't do it - that's the clear advice to prime minister David Cameron this
morning from national newspapers of every political hue in the face of his
call to take military action against Syria.

.

The Daily Mail's full-page editorial, "If our MPs STILL have any doubts,
they've a moral duty to vote no", is unequivocal in its opposition to a
punitive strike against Bashar al-Assad.

.

Today's motion may be "a confection of waffle and compromise", says the
Mail, "but at its heart [it] remains an invitation to MPs to approve in
principle a British missile attack on Assad."

.

Despite Assad's barbarism, the paper "makes an impassioned plea to MPs on
both sides of the house" to think again. It reminds them - and its readers
- of the "conclusive evidence" that Tony Blair and the White House
produced to take us to war in Iraq.

.

And it argues that for "greater certainty this time" the evidence must be
right, as Labour leader Ed Miliband has insisted "after much
shilly-shallying", and Cameron "now appears to accept."

.

If Assad's guilt is firmly established "MPs must also be fully satisfied
that an attack on the sovereign nation of Syria is permissible under
international law."

.

And the Mail implies that it would be uncomfortable about action even if
Assad was responsible and the legality was underlined. It states:

.

"What appears to be planned is a mere gesture to show that the US
president meant what he said when he warned that 'consequences' would flow
from crossing his red line

.

MPs should remember their special duty to Britain's national interest
and to their own constituents, most of whom want nothing to do with
another foreign war."
