Safty may not go at the expense of freedom


A measures murder at hunderten flight passengers was prevented in the last moment. The terrorists are failed with its bloody Anschlagsplänen - and nevertheless they had success. For goal of the terror is above all anxiety. And this anxiety changes piece for piece our life. We accustomed ourselves a long time on that after the 11 September 2001 that we may not take even more a klitzekleine nail file with into the airplane. Now mobile phone and hair shampoo are objects forbidden - mothers must drink in the presence of policemen out of baby milk bottles in order to prove that they contain no fluid explosive material. And sometime we can climb perhaps more into no train - without felt and investigates become... There is not absolute security

Yet so very inspections and laws intensified become - there is not an absolute security. It cannot give in a democracy. Against terrorist to die that jointly with its indiscriminate chosen sacrifices ready are not - do not grasp its logic of the hate and the killing we. The terror is the goal of the terror - has prime minister according to Tony Blair that bloody bomb marred of the 7 July said. The 52 dead in SUBWAYS and bus are just once a good year here. With bewunderswerter composure, the Londoners reacted at that time. They later climbed a day again abundant into the SUBWAY - with uncomfortable feeling to be sure, but above all also obstinately and decided.

Certainly: The terror danger is actually - that appeared today again. But increased watchfulness may not lead in addition that we see a terrorist in each Arabic-looking man. Security at the expense of freedom do not go. For then the terrorists really would have won - destroy that this freedom and would see want anxiety and distrust. To live on our life - that the best answer, that we can oppose life negative fanatical murderers, is last of all.
