You know very well its nothing like as simple as that.
Do you agree with every single policy of who you voted for, I most certainly dont.

And now you are comparing Saddam Hussein to our current (or previous) leaders ?

Are you a terrorist recuriter ? becasue you are starting to sound like one.
I’m not sure why you are misrepresenting what I’m saying.

That’s what they will be saying. I’m not quite sure why that’s not clear. Terrorist recruitment will be through the roof because from their perspective my points as made here are absolutely compelling.

“Ah but Blair had the minimum wage” isn’t really going to calm down frothing at the mouth Jihadis who will view anything American or British as legitimate targets, any more than we would accept that Saddam Hussein brought stability and security to large swathes of Iraq.

We carve our own comforting narratives of the white man bringing fairness, justice and equality to the world but there will absolutely be nomadkings of Afghanistan, typing away on forums completely ambivalent to that perspective. If we disagreed with it so much why didn’t we fight against the system propagating these wars? It only takes a handful to be radicalised with minimal skills and weapons to carry out a terrorist attack and within these refugees there will absolutely be people willing to commit it.
