In the USA the Patriot Act has restricted civil liberties; a detention centre was built that is a mockery of democratic principles, and a war was begun on grounds that before 11 September no one would have accepted... Fear is useful. But it must not make us blind or hysterical. The world has become less free since 11 September 2001; that is unfortunately a victory for the terrorists. |
