The surest way to win against terrorism is to defeat it, not cower and pretend it does not exist.

Pack up your kit bag and off you go, then. At least Christians a few hundred years ago had the courage of their convictions, instead of bleating endlessly on forums.

Agreed. Spain will forever be known as the country that gave in to the terrorists. Next time Osama wants to mess with a feeble European country - he would know who to pick.

The conspirators were radicalized by the war in Iraq, although it is impossible to say whether they would have been otherwise radicalized without it.

Wouldnt it be easier to address the fact that we have a failed foreign policy in the Middle East ?

If thats too radical a notion then do continue bombing until freedom and democracy is achieved.

Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.

Alfred no thread on terrorism would be complete without your cool, calm and collected analysis. Whine, whine, bleat, bleat- its all the Israelis fault, its all the American's fault, its all the West's fault, the poor downtrodden terrorists, we just want to live in peace and humbly raise our children- if only the West would give us a chance. Ahhh diddums.

If that is your view then fine.

No problems with the foreign policy then.

Marvellous.

But then again ...

Jaw Jaw is better than War War ...
