If I was to say it is understandable for a suicide bomber to blow up an Israeli tank in Palestine' would I be locked up?

Am I or am I not glorifying terrorism in some way? I am not sure.

The Government's recent Commons victory making glorifying terrorism a crime has thrown up more questions than answers.

I don't believe all that civil liberties stuff about how certain people will be arrested and detained on questionable charges.

But I do feel this law should have come into force sooner rather than later.

At least those who glorify the killing of fellow citizens know that they cannot do so and expect everyone to turn a blind eye to it.

But if this law had come into force earlier could it have averted the bombings of 7/7?

I don't believe so.

We cannot stop people from killing others by any amount of laws.

And that goes for all forms of killing not just those by terrorism.

Tony Blair said the law would allow the police to take "far stronger action" against people who indirectly incited terrorism.

He said MPs had sent out a "message of strength."

I do feel that the police will be able to act quicker and so they should.

But I don't feel that this sends out a message of strength.

Those who want to preach the killing of civilians will continue to do so.

We need to put things into perspective. There are not scores of raving loony preachers on these shores. There are probably a couple out of a thousand.

And those we don't know of won't be affected by this law anyway.

The majority of the information that this law is trying to outlaw does not come to young impressionable people' through preachers of hate' but through that thing called the internet.

The government is well aware of this but that doesn't make for good headlines.

It was also quite distressing to see this week some British soldiers dishing out their own form of democracy and justice to Iraqis.

If the Iraq war was a bad idea, nearly three years on the truth has dawned on even the most optimistic of us.

We are aware that this is an unwinnable war, and so is half the world.
