#2 The Wall Street Journal has some thoughts on the subject.

Key bit:

The core of the Cameron/Clegg disagreement is this: Are people who are radicals, bigots, racists, homophobes, misogynists and more, but not currently actively violent, the sort of people you should support, or shun? In Munich, Mr. Cameron expressed his belief that paying radical nonviolent Islamists to draw people away from violent Islamists would be like paying British National Party fascists to draw people away from the violent neo-Nazis of Combat 18.

But inside the Cabinet and the civil service, the prime minister encountered a very different view: that currently nonviolent extremists should be supported as a bulwark against al Qaeda. Despite its manifest failures and the societal divisions it has caused to date, this view could yet prevail. As one senior official put it in private, "The Munich speech is [Mr.] Cameron's personal view, not policy." Mr. Cameron may be in office, but we have yet to see if he is in charge.
