At the end of the day there will be a difference of opinion, thats fine by me.

I don't follow your "logic"
For starters, they didn't know they were in london until after the bombs went off.
If they had know they were in Leeds, then they would have been able to send in a small force to deal with them, just as they do similar raids in Iraq, you do realise it's not all "hey, there's some insurgents in that building, call in an air strike!" don't you?
Leeds isn't known for having a large population of RPG/assualt rifle carrying anti-authority insurgents is it? (well it wasn't when I was last there).
