Your first two sentences make sense individually, but not when read together. If these folks think terrorism is wrong, how can they think there is some justification for it?
And then I don't understand your last two sentences at all. Of course we want people to "expect" terrorism. MI5, MI6, etc. That doesn't mean they approve of it.

Your reading comprehension is either poor or you are in denial. I never said that they thought the terrorist actions were not wrong or that they didn't say so. However, they did imply that although wrong it might be understandible what they are doing and that Britain should determine its foreign policy not based on what is right but based on avoiding terrorist acts.

In denial of what? I suspect that these people believe that what they are urging will not only help Britain avoid terrorist acts but also is "right." If you assume that they are patriotic Brits urging what they think is best for the country, what's the problem?
