Prime Minister Cameron is listening to the British Parliament, who appear to be listening to the English public.
Parliament surprisingly voted down Cameron's motion to join the US in a military strike against Syria.
So, England's out. France? You still there? Got anything to really contribute other than vocal support?
Snip:
The prime minister said in terse comments while he believes in a "tough response" to the use of chemical weapons, he would respect the will of the House of Commons.
At the start of the week, Cameron had seemed ready to join Washington in possible military action against Assad over the alleged chemical weapons attack. But the push for strikes against the Syrian regime began to lose momentum as Britain's Labour Party – still smarting from its ill-fated decision to champion the invasion of Iraq in 2003 – announced its opposition to the move.
