Yes, but it would be unlikely that there would be any terrorist attack if we kept our armies out of the middle east, the possibility is there but it's highly improbable. I also don't consider British national security any more important than that of Afghanistan, and then there's also the fact that many more innocent Afghanis have been killed in this war than were killed in 9/11, quite apart from the argument that a 9/11 type attack on Britain without the wars on the middle east is highly unlikely.
