The danger is, we get sucked in reactively. The reality is, our strategy is to bury our heads in the sand until COBRA is convened. The terrorists simply want us to turn against moderate Muslims and everytime we say "nuke the lot of 'em", we are playing into their hands. We could have gone off on one in NI, but we didn't. I do wonder though, how much of the inertia is caused by lack of capability and how much of the initiative is lost to political insecurity and sheer inability. This is depraved, barbaric and medieval madness intended to repulse and shock. And it has done. But let's accept that and let's not add to the problem by doing what we are intended to do. I'm sure that matters are quietly being addressed. Well, I hope they are.
