The attacks had nothing to do with Al Qaeda (according to a UK government enquiry). Three of the four attackers came from Leeds! The other one came from Aylesbury - not Kabul.

I may be a 'lefty snowflake' (in fact I'm not a pacifist or non-interventionist) but I don't think the answer is to nuke Leeds - twice! Or whatever other 'solution' you are endorsing. Maybe just military occupation and drone strikes in Leeds?
I think we can all agree that if the US and UK had destroyed Al Qaeda as successfully as jon1959 has destroyed nugent here then the world would be a much safer place
