Også Danmark vil slås i Syrien
USA beder Danmark om endnu mere hjælp til den militære kamp mod ISIL, nu i Syrien. Eller mere korrekt, USA har spurgt en lang række lande, heriblandt Danmark. Det bekræfter udenrigsminister Kristian Jensen, der "ser positivt på henvendelsen", hvor USA beder om "jagerfly, specialstyrker, logistisk støtte, minerydning eller medicinsk kapacitet".
"ISIL er en trussel mod vores hverdag i Danmark. Jeg kan bekræfte, at vi kigger på hele rækken af værktøjer i den forsvarspolitiske værktøjskasse", siger Kristian Jensen - som kronisk kun kan få øje på militære løsninger, men dog ikke har "fantasi til at forestille sig, at danske landtropper bliver sendt af sted". USA har længe bombet i Syrien, og på det seneste er også England og Frankrig kommet med.Det ISIL-inspirerede terrorangreb i Paris kom kort efter, at Frankrig havde kastet sine første bomber mod ISIL i Syrien. Når diverse vestlige nationer kaster bomber over Syrien, er det folkeretsligt et angreb på landet, da der i modsætning til Irak ikke er en aftale om dette. På trods af ISIL som fælles fjende, er Syriens leder Assad ikke en allieret i kampen, da Vesten fortsat forsøger at få ham fjernet.
Danmark havde allerede valgt at blande sig i Syrien, da det er besluttet at sende en radar til Irak, der også skal overvåge det østlige Syrien. Umiddelbart har Danmarks bombeglade partier det problem, at vore nedslidte kampfly ikke er klar endnu, da de måtte trækkes hjem efter at have deltaget med voldsomme bombardementer i Irak. Et flertal i Folketinget støtter omgående muligheden for mere dansk krigsdeltagelse, med Dansk Folkeparti, Konservative, Socialdemokraterne og Venstre i front.
Radikale Venstre er fortsat en anelse skeptiske, mens Liberal Alliance endnu ikke har markeret sig. Alternativet afviser denne gang at være med: "Vi bliver nødt til at finde ud af, hvordan vi får skabt freden, og insistere på at bringe alle parterne til forhandlingsbordet - Iran, Saudi-Arabien, Rusland - og få Assad ud eller ind som nøglen til at løse konflikten". Det er SF enige i, og "anser det for udelukket, at vi kan støtte at sende F16-fly afsted", men afslutter med "i hvert fald lige i øjeblikket". Enhedslisten mener "diskussionen om at sende danske kampfly af sted virker som symbolpolitik", men fastholder i stedet deres gamle plan om danske våbentransporter til kurdiske militser i Syrien.

> Peace prize for drone researcher: Refuses to make weapons
”I don't want to build drones for the military”, wrote Dylan Cawthorne in the Danish trade magazine for engineers - and for this attitude the peace organisation ”Aldrig Mere Krig” (”Never More War”) has now honoured him with the association's Peace Rose. Cawthorne is an aerospace engineer and associate professor at the Drone Centre at the University of Southern Denmark.
Cawthorne warns of a ”militarization of public Danish universities”, and that he himself is exposed to ”increased pressure from management to work on military projects”, with ”financial gain as the primary motive”.
Despite the pressure, Cawthorne refuses to work on military projects, and will insist on developing only civilian drones – for the benefit of healthcare and similar humanitarian tasks: ”Then I can combine my love of flight and fabrication, with my dream of making the world a better place.”
The Peace Rose was awarded to Dylan Cawthorne on Sunday the 10th of September in front of his artwork ”Kites for Peace”. The award certificate from the peace organisation honours Cawthorne for ”the courage to demand technology for peace and not for war”.
”In a world where science has made our leaders all too skilled at creating havoc and causing destruction, but not at solving their conflicts peacefully, it is important for daring individuals to speak out against the onslaught of militarisation”, said Tom Vilmer Paamand, who is chairman of the peace organisation, at the presentation:
”Freedom of research is threatened, just as freedom of speech is, when suddenly there is no room for sober thoughts against war. That is why people like Dylan Cawthorne, who dare anyway, are so badly needed.”
”Aldrig Mere Krig” is the Danish section of War Resisters' International, and has been handing out its Peace Roses for over 50 years. Over the years, the prize has been given for many forms of action, and to many types of actors - from dock workers to artists, journalists and even to a commander of the special forces. And in a similar case to Cawthorne's, to the engineering company Rambøll, which at that time had a philosophy of not wanting to ”make money from the arms industry”.
