We've had Saudis and Jordanians and Pakistanis who have - and Syrians - who have been involved in armed attacks against coalition forces in Iraq.
Let's be cautious about dreaming up extreme scenarios. The situation in Iraq is still salvageable.
I can't accept collective responsibility for the decision to commit Britain now to military action in Iraq without international agreement or domestic support.
There were no international terrorists in Iraq until we went in. It was we who gave the perfect conditions in which Al Qaeda could thrive.
