The War on Terror explained.....simply

"This terrorism isn't our fault. We didn't cause it. It's not the consequence of foreign policy."

Prime Minister Tony Blair, Labour Party Conference Speech 26th September 2006

"Prime Minister Tony Blair is right. We do not create terrorism by fighting terrorism. The terrorists are at war against us because they hate everything America stands for, and because they know we stand in the way of their ambitions to take over the Middle East. We are fighting to stop them from taking over Iraq and turning that country into a safe haven that would be even more valuable than the one they lost in Afghanistan.
.....
Five years after the 9/11 attacks, some people in Washington still do not understand the nature of the enemy. The only way to protect our citizens at home is to go on the offense against the enemy across the world. When terrorists spend their days working to avoid capture, they are less able to plot, plan, and execute new attacks on our people. So we will remain on the offense until the terrorists are defeated and this fight is won."

President George Bush
Radio Address 30th September 2006

.... so that's it then, keep the terrorists busy avoiding capture ... and we are safe.

OK you got that ?

OK ?
