We have to sacrifice some freedoms for safety, sacrificing those freedoms doesn't make us freer (is that a word?) it just gives us more security. That doesn't make it wrong it just means we have less freedoms in exchange for more safety. The trick is drawing the line in the right spot.
Ok english is not my native, I actually meant security prevails over individual liberty... The line is well drawn for us, and for other european countries. And even so Neo-Fascism and Neo-Nazism exist, just look at Greece or Denmark's far right parties... They just undercover their fascism with a nationalist ideology based on democracy..
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
