my country, the united kingdom still faces threats from dissident republicans in northern ireland. anarchist attacks have occurred recently in greece and italy and, of course, yourselves in germany were long scarred by terrorism from the red army faction. nevertheless, we should acknowledge that this threat comes in europe overwhelmingly from young men who follow a completely perverse, warped interpretation of islam and who are prepared to blow themselves up and kill their fellow citizens. last week at davos i range the alarm bell for the europe to return to their economic dynamism. though my message is complex, my message is equally stark. we will not defeat terrorism simply by the action we take outside our borders. europe needs to wake up to what is happening in our own countries. of course, that means strengthening as angela said the security aspects of our response. on tracing plots, on stopping them, on counter-surveillance and intelligence gathering but this is just part of the answer. we've got to get to the root of the problem. and we need to be absolutely clear on where t

i think everyone always recalls northern ireland in making this case with the first chance for peace were established in 1972, for peace talks. very careful, low level, an official channels. the good fighter agreement was signed 25 years later in 1997. so that would be my first proposition, that talks need to start now and preparations for talks need to start in center. and there are channels, but from what i can see they don't talk. so what should a political strategy look like? i think we should be careful about talking about solutions. i'm not sure that there are solutions, as such, that we're going to get to. talks in themselves can have value in building the trust, confidence, creating stability. and i think there are several layers on which those talks need to be happening and several different groups, circles the people, who need to be involved and then to make them create that potential stabilizing effect. a peace agreement that results in a state that afghans are willing to live in and regional neighbors are willing to endorse, i think, is alternately where we need to be hea

ireland. as you well know, it's broken. from within great britain, the expertise is different. there's a limited number of armed offices. there are specialists, and offices are good at public order. they know about obtaining consent because after all, they have to keep themselves safe as well as the area they are patrolling safe in the name. can they deal in that land between the acute end of an army's activity and tranquility? not very well. should we try to develop a u.k. capability? yes, we should i think, although , it -- and try to get some of our police service better experienced on it. it's not a natural thing to do in the way it is safe for the france or all the police service in italy. >> i could spend a lot of time on this very interesting topic. >> it is, it is. >> i'll turn to my colleagues to see if they have any final questions to raise? can i invite your reflections on the whole iraq experience? >> one thing that would be interesting to hear if you wish to is the iran dimension.

all i would say going back to the issue of libya and northern ireland, of course everyone had to hold their nose and talk to people that we didn't want to talk to and deal with people we didn't want to deal with but actually on that, governments are pretty frank about what it was we were doing and why we were doing it and that is my point. >> it is important that we do nothing to -- the prospect of wider instability in north africa and the mcgrath. does my right honorable friend share my dismay at reports in the western threats -- unstable countries like egypt and tunisia with countries like morocco that have a far more enlightened order economically, socially and and -- politically? >> i think my honorable friend makes an important point. we shouldn't treat every country and assume they are all the same. the point i would take the list this. genuine stability should be based on the progressive realization of the goal of a more open society and the building blocks of the civil society that we recognize. i don't think you can pretend that you solve these problems simply by holding an e
