After the 11 September terrorist attacks against the United States , the UK Parliament was recalled , and a solemn five-hour emergency sitting of the House of Commons debated the crisis . Jonathan Sayeed said that military might alone would not be enough to deal with the problem . " There has to be some understanding why there is such hatred for so many institutions within the United States . Unless we deal with some of the deep-seated causes , then more terrorists will come to the fore . " However , the Prime Minister was adamant that there should be no " moral ambiguity " about the events in the US , that the entitlement to dislike the US could never justify the actions carried out
