I have no doubt that your security services are the best in the world, which is why these attacks have not happened sooner and more often. Still, there's very little to be done about a suicide bomber unless you catch him in the act.

I suspect that Al Quaeda and their associates will take this tack now in Europe and the U.S. now that the terrorists are strapped for cash and being watched closely.

This is the only type of attack they can pull off.

Which, in itself, is a great credit to the security forces in both our countries.

Quite so. I actually think this will have relatively little impact. Most Britons become extremely stubborn when someone tries to intimidate us. Even leftists like Ken Livingstone.

We all knew this sort of thing was going to happen when we signed up to support the US. Some of us thought it was a fair price to pay and some of us didn't. Either way, nothing has changed.

We've had 20 years of IRA bombings. We aren't intimidated.

The way to stop suicide bombers is to dry up their support financially and morally.

The way to do that is to deliver such a response against Iran, that it deters their worldwide support for terror of all types. Such a response against Iran that Iran sends forth the message to all muslims to cease and desist from terror - or Iran will cease to exist.

Only then can we continue with the present strategy of spreading freedom. First spread Victory. NOW.
