I was simply responding to the idea that in a liberal society we have to accept risk. I believe that statement. But I also have some understanding of the more pratical side of politics.

I know that eventually there will be another successful attack, whether on plain, train, or any other transit system, or just an attack in general. And I know no amount if security can or will prevent. We can lessen the chance of attacks, perhaps divert potential attacks into less damaging areas of our society. But regardles, it will eventually happen, and I accept that.

And I also will accept whatever blame is laid. Again, its nice to talk about the theories of a liberal society, but it's helpful to then consider the realities. And let the blame fall where it may.

If you see that as fear, so be it. I do not. I will accept whatever happens, as am attempt to control everything is to self-destruct from the inside.
