Myunderstanding is a lot of people in both the US and the UK have been charged with various terrorist charges for having plans or even having discussed ideas verbally. It is obvious that countries have a right to have defensive plans but for them to have clear attack plans must surely be treated the same as preparation of terrorist acts if you have not been attacked.

If Iran is planning to wipe out Israel (never trust an Arab) supply IE D's to Arab insurgents in order to attack troops who are there to stabilise and bring hope to Iraqi citizens. What do you expect our governments to do, sit on our backsides and say "oh, they're only discussing it, lets not infringe their human rights and freedom of speech". We are at war with Islamic extremists and there can be no hiding place for terrorists, America will come and get you because they don't have the idiotic patience and tolerance (if you can call it that) which pervades in England. Iran is about to get the full wrath of a government that has become increasingly angry at the loss of its finest and bravest, I have nothing but respect for US and coalition troops, I would love to be on the front line and help deal out the vengeance on Iran in order to put right some of the suffering our troops and their families have been through. The insurgents are clearly being feted by Iran, Syria and others from the Arab league of nations. If you harbour terrorists and allow them to move freely to the war zone then in my book you are guilty of an act of terrorism and you can bet your bottom dollar/camel that you will be punished..we are at War with you.

If you have not been attacked - The US has been and is being attacked.
"I believe that we lost critical time in dealing with Iran because the White House chose to downplay the threats. I don't believe you face threats like Iran by standing on the sidelines. Let's be clear about the threat we face now: A nuclear Iran is a danger. The regime's pro-terrorist, and anti-American and its rhetoric only underscores the urgency of the threat it poses. Our policy must be clear and unequivocal. We cannot and should not – must not – permit Iran to build or acquire nuclear weapons. In order to prevent that from occurring, we must have more support vigorously and publicly expressed by China and Russia, and we must move as quickly as feasible for action in the United Nations. We cannot take any option off the table in sending a clear message to the current leadership of Iran – that they will not be permitted to acquire nuclear weapons."
Winston Churchill

All countries have militaries and all militaries prepare for war, as that is their job. History has proven that those countries that neither have militaries or prepare fow war, usually end up as a province of another country that did. As a result of war preparation, contigency plans arise on how to successfully engage and defeat current countries that pose a threat to the country that is creating the plans.

You need to learn who your enemy is. It's the one who wants to convert you to Muslim.....then, destroy all those who don't share your beliefs.
That's your enemy.
