Britain can not afford to "err on the side of caution" in the fight against terrorism, Tony Blair has said in one of his starkest warnings yet.

"The threat we face is... a challenge of a different nature from anything the world has faced before," he said during a speech on Friday.

The prime minister warned of the "mortal danger" of under-estimating the threat of unconventional attacks.

Mr Blair also rebutted challenges to the legality of the war in Iraq.

The global terror from groups such as al-Qaeda represented a "new type of war" - and Mr Blair warned of his fears that they would obtain weapons of mass destruction.



I don't know about anyone else, but I am sick and tired of leaders who only know fear. Is the world any more or less dangerous since 9-11. Actually, it's probably about the same. You are still more like to get killed in a car accident or die from cancer than getting killed in a terrorist attack.

Unfortunately, Tony and Bu$h don't live in the real world anymore. They really don't have a clue any more what reality is. Their reality is 24/7 hate, war and fear. With leaders like these who needs enemies?

7. When all you do is talk about war and fear

then all you are going to get is war and fear.

Sorry, but I'm tired of their version of reality. Yes there are bad people in the world and you always have to take reasonable precautions to protect yourself. However, fixating on who is out to get you and only see the bad in everything rather than the good leads to serious mental illness and irrational paranoia. They used to institutional people like this, now they run the world.
