UK national press airs reservations about Cameron's Syrian mission

summary
David Cameron may have secured a large majority in the Commons to go to war in Syria, but the UK national newspapers are anything but convinced about this decision.
key data

  • Mr Cameron failed to convince that his all-too-vague war aims are achievable by the means he proposes.
my view
I believe it is wrong to bomb Syria as many innocent lives will be affected and David Cameron doesn't know what he's doing. I'm not ready for WW3.
