Trident Ploughshares abhors all forms of violence and believes that plans to plant bombs on planes is terrorism.

Trident Ploughshares believes that individual acts of terrorism are likely to continue as long as the root causes of terrorism are not dealt with, i.e., British Foreign Policy. The UK must stop supporting terrorist states like the USA and Israel and must stop its illegal war and occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan. The UK must end its arms trade which fuels conflict around the world, must stop supporting repressive regimes, and start acting in a responsible manner. Acting responsibly means upholding international law itself by respecting the Non-Proliferation Treaty and dismantling its own weapons of mass destruction so it is not seen as being hypocritical and by implementing a real security policy that includes global initiatives to deal with poverty and global climate change. Until these deep changes are made within the British establishment Trident Ploughshares fears that the vicious circle of structural violence fuelling terrorism will make us all more insecure.
