The Ukip leader said the British public had “had enough” of war and last week’s vote against action was “a great victory for democracy.”
Lord Ashdown, the former Lib Dem leader, said Britain’s standing in the world had been diminished by failing to confront the use of chemical weapons with force.
Mr Farage said: “If we are judged on whether we bomb people, I am delighted we should lose our international standing.
"There is hard power and there is soft power, and I want us to be a country that pushes soft power, and we can do it.”
He added: "I believe we can do a lot more good in the world than just by believing we have to go round bombing people." » | Matthew Holehouse | Friday, September 06, 2013
