Yes but re: "He said Al-Qaida had been planning attacks on this country long before September the 11th attacks.", it wouldn't surprise that ideas to attack the UK had existed before 9/11 occured. We and the US haven't exactly been liked by everyone for some time...

Part of the trouble is (at least as far as I'm concerned) we simply do not what to believe any longer.

I disagree with "the situation we now live with has nothing to do with Britains involvement in the Middle East" though.

If nothing else, IMO we have done a pretty good job in helping the recruitment of terrorists.
