Truth on terror

How can we believe Tony Blair and Gordon Brown when they say the world is a safer place while our risk of terrorist attack increases and worldwide terrorist activity presents a bigger threat than ever?

The cost of our involvement in the wars with Iraq and Afghanistan has been considerable in terms of UK troops injured and killed, but worse than this human cost is the fanning of the terrorist flame, making it easy to recruit new suicide bombers and making the world a much more dangerous place.
