Saying we should remove ourselves from any conflict in the Middle East is like claiming the terrorists have a point. Also, we import only a fraction of our oil from the Middle East so claiming we "dirty our hands" because of it is simply not correct.

Do you agree we should of gone to war in Iraq?
Do you believe what's happening now isn't a result of our intervention in Iraq? and do you believe that our partnership with NATO has brought about what is now happening in the West?

To understand what is happening in Europe today, we need to understand the full story and how it unfolded. History didn't start in July 2005 with the London bombings and neither did it start on Friday the 13th in France. If we don't look at the reasons behind these terrorist atrocities then how the hell do we plan a peaceful future for our children?

And lets get one thing straight, I make no excuse for the terrorists as you tried to imply, but I understand the reasons behind the terrorism. They are not doing this because we have some asset they want are they? its not an invasion is it?
