Of course if I was a crazed jihadi with a machine gun and the choice of places to shoot up would I choose

1. The UK. Mostly unarmed Police with the Guardian and Sky news on the sidelines to endlessly ask if the nutter with the gun really, really needed shot
2. France with it's mostly armed Police who can return fire
3. Spain with it's mostly armed Police who can return fire
4. Italy with it's mostly armed Police who can return fire

Shamelessly stolen from Inspector Gadget but assuming any suicide attacker has an ounce of common sense they won't want to be taken out by a lucky shot from a nearby cop.
