And besides, our armed forces are so underfunded, understrength and relatively poorly equipped that they could not undertake an operation like that. I think I read somewhere that our armed forces couldn't carry out an operation like the Falklands campagn now.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not slagging our armed forces off, I have the utmost respect and admiration for them, they are arguable still the best trained army in the world. But this government (and the previous one) cut it back both financially and manpower wise so much they're simply not as effective as they should be.
And as DJcreamz said, fighting violence with violence simply breeds more violence. Like the saying by Ghandi, and eye for and eye and the world is soon blind (or something like that!)

@whizkidd, apologies for the spelling mistake!
Very true though, I wish more people would listen to men like Gandhi (shame he is no longer with us) rather than George Bush!
It seems that the ambitions and egos of a tiny few men in power ruin the lives of everyone else just trying to get on with their lives.

Do you mean to say that those who organise terrorist acts and train terrorists to murder innocent citizens simply be cause they are Westerners, or interact with Westerners, should not be brought to justice? Really? Care to explain why?
May I remind everyone that Osama Bin Laden attempted to destroy the World Trade Centre in 1993 during the Clinton Presidency. Bill was too busy with his Interns in the "Oral" Office to track down Osama and now look at the consequences.
You can try ignoring Al Quida and hoping that they'll go away.
You do so at your peril.

Its all well and good when other inoccent people are getting killed everyday in places like palestine, which is backed by the US and British, but when it hits home, people ask why?? How could they??
i dont approve of it or take any joy in what happened yesterday either but when theres a "2min" news broadcast on the news about the palestine war, I watch and see more horror than what i saw yesterday!!
its your government killing other inocent people... justify the Isrealy Paletinian war?? can u?? what is your government doing there and backing Israel for??
as for bin laden, i doubt he will ever be found!!!
and as long as nations such as yours back nations like israel Al Quida will never go away, there will always be more!!
Just as you feel like killing the people who did this to your country, they feel it more and with more passion... you take their families and their lives... they will always be a terrorist out there seeking justice!!!

Just because our govenment may (I'm sure the govt. also support Palestinian causes - G8 have just approved a £3bn aid package for Palestine if I heard correctly) support Israel, does it automatically follow that the people of the country will blindly follow their government's lead and have the same opinions? Your post suggests that.
The tone of your last posts sounds very anti-Israel, and whilst they are responsible for killing many people, there are always TWO sides to a story, please remember that.
And just for the record, I do support the idea of a free Palestinian state, everyone needs a land to call their own. Whilst it would help immensely the situation, I don't think it will solve it - people have been squabbling and fighting over that piece of land right at the Eastern end of the Med for the last 2,000 years or so!

My post was directed to mr carkitter as he seems to support it!
Do you know how Israel was aquired??
They basicaly threw the palestinians out of their own country and all the jews who suffered from Hitlers dictatorship went to Israel, to put it bluntly.
Now Israel wants to destroy the holy mosque on ex palestinian soil!!
land is land, holy shrines are different, first they throw them out now they want to deface the country and the MUSLIM religion as a whole!!!!
this is how Al Quida was born.
and i am anti israel and any other zionists, if im in a shop and they have a can supporting a zionist cause i just walk out, i dont care how cheap their diesel jeans are!!! but thats just me, my beliefs!

By hating israel, do you mean you hate any israeli citizen? An israeli kid for example?
