What do we do?


At some point we will have to draw the line where we stop straining our personal freedoms, liberties and luxuries becasue you cannot stop a madmen from doing insane acts. You can however stop a trend or trying to disrupt and demotivate their attempts as much as possible.

One should seek to stop the attemps but also to demotivate them to do so, being this constructive or destructive.

However what is the price we are willing to pay?

The price is set by politicians. Politicians who are run not only by fear for terrorists*, but also by fear of losing votes. They will always go for the overkill, never the smart or the best solution, but a solution that works in combination with it being 'sellable to the public'
A situation I do not like.

Future history will show us, I predict, that during these years the western world overreacted and thus making this 'era' last longer. We are desperately trying to find another way to pay for our freedom, not with our lives. While in the end we may have to pay for our lives with our freedom. And at that point, we will have failed.
At some point a society must be willing to risk lives, to take losses, something we refuse to do because our society has made rules for itself that will conflict time and time again. It is time to redefine who we are and what we are willing to pay to stay that way.
