Are we helping MI6 to uncover cells in the UK? No? Then I guess the government agrees with me.
No. Because that would mean that we are directly attacking ourselves. Guess how many US weapons (not just US made weapons, actual US military weapons) are being used by the al Qaeda and Iraqi insurgency. Just guess.

I was asking those question in a general sense, to get a better feel for your views on when you would support forceful action. In either case I would take forceful action.
If you could take (again in general terms) forceful preemptive action to prevent a direct attack on our shores would you?
