Al Qaeda poses a "serious threat" to the UK, there are too few troops in Iraq and the war on drugs in Afghanistan is being lost, according to MPs
They have been assessing the impact the war on terror has had on world peace, particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan.
A report by the Commons foreign affairs committee called on more countries, particularly Islamic ones, to move troops into Iraq.
It criticises the "insufficient" number of troops in the country and calls on private military and security firms to be better regulated.
Iraq's own police and army are described as "a long way from being able to maintain security."
It also highlights concerns that human rights violations by British soldiers in Iraq were kept from the Foreign Office.
The report also warned that basic services in Iraq are not good enough, Afghanistan is controlled by warlords and the Road Map for peace between Israel and Palestine is stalled, possibly fatally.
The report describes Iran's nuclear programme as "a challenge" facing the international community.
MPs are also concerned Russia is lagging behind in its schedule to get rid of chemical weapon stockpiles.
