It is very interesting that research on the materials left behind by suicide bombers, and interviews with would be or failed suicide bombers, reveals that the primary motivation behind the attacks is to stop occupation of their 'homelands' by western military. So far from reducing the risk, our war on Iraq as actually massively increased the risk to ourselves and our allies.

Also of minor note is that the suspected bombers seem to have been UK citizens and therefore would have had legitimate ID cards if such as system was in place.
