"You have tried to paint me as some anti-western Grauniadista, "

Just about the last phrase I would ever have considered as a description for you.

"the only point I'm making is that pouring more troops, bombs and weapons into a sectarian civil war zone will only amplify the problems, raise new grievances, whilst not resolving existing sectarian, tribal and ethnic disputes. "

"Libya and Egypt show that removing a despot and creating the space for a liberal democracy fails equally spectacularly."

And of course there was the situation in Northern Ireland, where those grievances were eventually addressed and people decided to stop the killing

Something to think about there.
