[quote][i]Originally posted by Ian[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by MoesTavern[/i] "For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens 'as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone',[/quote] I don't entirely disagree with this, because counter-terrorism is clearly hindered by the restriction on pro-active investigation. That goes without saying, you'd find more out if you looked in more places, more often and with less cause. Whether you want to protect your civil liberty is another matter. However this next bit - [quote]It's often meant we have stood neutral between different values. And that's helped foster a narrative of extremism and grievance.[/quote] I completely disagree with. Standing neutral doesn't foster anything. Bombing the fuck out of things and blaming all Muslims for all evil on the other hand, well that's going to piss a few of them off. I do think the government are in a difficult position because they'll be scrutinised for failing or scrutinised for trying, and ultimately what is the solution? By its very nature you need to be proactive in your approach, the information is not going to fall to you unless you look. But that's a whole can of worms in itself. I do think they're prepping the wider population for what is to come and to a certain extent I can see the wider population going for it. I think the general mood is that people would accept less privacy if the upside is a lower likelihood of being killed in a terrorist attack. Although it does all miss the point. Ultimately if you don't want targetting by terrorists, don't bomb their town. [/quote]
