It is well documented that Bin Laden was against the USA and coalition forces after the first gulf conflict because he wanted to be the one that fought against Saddam and he was well and truly ****ed off when we all landed in Saudi.

the terrorists succeeded in getting more people out to vote for a party that believes in peace, politicising a country against the discredited idea that brute force is the only way to fight terrorism.

Agreed - brute force is not the only way to fight terrorism. In Northern Ireland we now have peace, an uneasy peace, but peace never the less. However we could,and can, negotiate with Sin fein and the IRA.
How do you negotiate with a person who dedication in life is to destroy your way life. Who thinks the only good westerner is a dead one. Who will not be happy until he has detroyed all other faiths bar Islam.
Horses for courses, some people only understand violence and force, and we should not be afraid to give it to them.
