Then you agree that Britain should have the option to vote on whether to intervene militarily, I take it?

This seems to be an important point for Jim, he somehow feels that it is an imperative, what a pity then that Ireland didn't get a chance to vote on whether or not to sanction military intervention by the PIRA way back in 1971, the vote would have been a massive NO (That was the Official IRA's reading of the situation)

But as with everything about Jim, he has one set of rules for his side and a completely different set for whoever he sees as their opponents. One law for the goose another for the gander.
