We as civilians should be able to vote and have a referendum when ever the government decide to go to war.In the end people who have had a relative affected by the war or has experienced something traumatising will eventually try to take revenge on the country that had war with them. An example would be the Iraq war. The Woolwich attack took place by justifying what iraqis had to face during the war.Now we want people who are apart of UN countries being able to vote whether the government should use armed forces in Syria to bring the dictatorship government down. We should also have a right to decide whether our government should go to war or not, as we do not want to repeat what happened during the Iraq war.
