I boggled until I read which paper she writes for...
TBH I doubt that had this happened before the election the results would have been much different. The only major party that was resolutely anti-war was the LibDems and even this wouldn't have got them into power on the strength of it. The most that would have happened would have been a hung-parliament with Labour as the single biggest party...
What the Fox network seems to be missing is that the best way to counter terrorism is to deal with the underlying problems that lead people down that path. Dealing with global poverty will do more to end terrorism than destabalising another middle eastern country. Part of the problem, of course, is that Al'Qaeda it a nebulous organisation and its aims are similarly intangible. How can you negotiate with terrorists (in any way - be that through diplomacy or extreme diplomacy) when they don't want anything tangible??
