And now for something completely obvious

From the AP:
Britain's close alliance with the United States has put it at particular risk of terrorist attack, two leading think tanks said Monday...

The Royal Institute of International Affairs and the Economic and Social Research Council said the situation in Iraq had given "a boost to the al-Qaida network's propaganda, recruitment and fund-raising" and provided an ideal training ground for al-Qaida-linked terrorists.

The response from Defence Secretary John Reid was the usual blather about standing up to bullies. It's always reassuring to see foreign policy drafted on a second-grade level.
