Just as in business, the management of a country should not be entirely driven by empathy and love and bunny rabbits with little hearts above their heads. The death of 20-odd during 7/7 should not mean we turn into a nation of cowards. Similarly, the death of 100 soldiers in Afghanistan is not an argument for us never to have invaded.
I stand by my statement. Fighting an idea is stupid. A physical fight is against a nation or a group of people. Terrorism is a method - and idea. We may as well be going to war against "being a meanie" or "not sharing".

I am quite right-wing in matters of opinion, but you just come across as quite a nasty person
Each post seems like an attack rather than a discussion, and I have been offended by things you have said more than once. I don't think you are doing us any favours by being so hard to talk to.
