1. Because everyone else seems to be doing it

2. Because we are already bombing in Iraq

3. Because it looks bad if the French are doing it and we aren't

4. Because the Russians are doing it and we don't like that

5. Because we want to stop ISIS doing horrible things such as bombing people

6. Because we're not actually going to drop very many bombs and we'll promise not to hit any weddings, funerals, hospitals, schools, etc.

7. Because it will stop ISIS invading Britain disguised as refugees

8. Because we can't think what else to do

9. Because (Labour Party members only) bombing in Syria shows how much we disapprove of Jeremy Corbyn

10. Er ... that's it
