LONDON -- In an address on British Broadcasting Corp. radio Saturday, 
Prime Minister Tony Blair said Britain must defend against terrorism _ 
but must also strive to understand the underlying causes of the 
violence, which he identified as deprivation, lack of democracy and 
ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

"I think this type of terrorism has very deep roots," Blair said. "As 
well as dealing with the consequences of this _ trying to protect 
ourselves as much as any civil society can _ you have to try to pull it 
up by its roots."
