| quote: | Blair: World slept after 9/11
LONDON, England (CNN) -- British Prime Minister Tony Blair said Tuesday that much of the world had dropped its guard to the threat of terrorism after the "wake-up call" of the 9/11 attacks of 2001.
Blair was speaking after meeting opposition leaders to discuss anti-terror legislation set to be introduced in the wake of this month's London bombings.
He said Britain would not give "one inch" to terrorists and said it was time to confront them "on every single level."
"September 11 for me was a wake up call. Do you know what I think the problem is? That a lot of the world woke up for a short time and then turned over and went back to sleep again," he said.
"We are not going to deal with this problem, with the roots as deep as they are, until we confront these people at every single level. And not just their methods but their ideas," Blair said.
While rejecting suggestions he had claimed the London bombings had nothing to do with Iraq, Blair said there was no justification for terrorism.
"Let us expose the obscenity of these people saying it is concern for Iraq that drives them to terrorism," Blair said.
"If it is concern for Iraq then why are they driving a car bomb into the middle of a group of children and killing them?" Blair said.
"They will always have a reason and I am not saying any of these things don't affect their warped reasoning and warped logic.
"But I do say we shouldn't compromise with it. Whatever justification these people use, I do not believe we should give one inch to them."
"There is no justification for suicide bombing whether in Palestine, Iraq, in Egypt, in Turkey, anywhere."

| And then Blair and Bush took a big massive after 9/11. And they stood there, admiring it and sniffing it. And when someonw would come along and stop, they would say "Wow, you just took a !" And Bush would respond, "You know that's very unamerican of you. That's obviously fertilizer." |
