A policy of violence

We did the two minutes silence at 12:00 for the victims of 7/7. It was strange to hear the whole customer service centre go quiet.

Some would say that the West is reaping the result of decades of bad foreign policy in the Middle East. It's a fair point, though for my part I believe that their policy of violence is simply not the answer.

The terrorists are not having their desired effect, their violence simply hardens resolve against them and justifies ever more repressive laws and actions. Martin Luther King and Ghandi knew the correct way of going about achieving change in the face of a more powerful regime and violence is never the answer.
