Yet the terror is directly related to foreign policies. No terror in Iraq before the war, lots of (suicide) terror after the war. Same Afghanistan. Destabilized by a sequence of wars, produces terrorism. You can fill in Palestine for yourself.

So unless you put your ideological blinders on, reducing terror revolves around wars and foreign policy, i.e. reducing/solving the perceived injustices of those groups that contain elements that resort to (suicide) terror.

A policy prescription that is consistent with problems that don’t feature Islam, like Northern Ireland and Sri Lanka.

Off topic somewhat have you read some of the ‘why we signed’ on the United Against Terror website. It’s strange, I at first thought it was a simple and unequicoval rejection of islamic terrorism. But reading why people signed, it basically is ‘So I can have a go at the left’. Bragg and Pollard are the two main culprits. From their peices you’d have thinkg some Guardinistas (he really said that) had planted the bombs themselves. "Divide Against Terror" might be nearer the mark.
