The US and Canada seem to be doing fine. France and Germany. Thailand and Laos (as far as I know). Your statement is vague and does not seem to take into account the actual realities of living in perpetual insecurity.

All of those countries have had terrorist attacks in the last 5 years. While their level of security is generally high, they do not experience total security. You cannot be completely secure without total control or elimination of anyone who might disagree with you.

Of course I accept that some actions are legitimate in some places to achieve a higher level of security for the people, but it always requires careful consideration and is not something for which just any sacrifice can be made without further thought.
