Well, we let them write undemocratic laws for security reasons because "terrorism". It's our fault.

  That's not how it started though. Here's how things went: * government made out of parties voted for because $reason * 9/11 happened * government takes measures because terrorism 9/11 (and co) was one of those things few people - especially voters - could've predicted, and in many ways it forced the government's hands - our country is under attack, lots of angry people want to cause trouble, etc. Mind you, I don't think there's been any strong "we are going to reduce anti-terrorism measures" parties, or if they were they weren't popular.

    > Mind you, I don't think there's been any strong "we are going to reduce anti-terrorism measures" parties, or if they were they weren't popular. There almost can't be. All it takes is one attack of any kind after they relax rules, regardless of whether the relaxation allowed it to happen, and they lose every. single. election. the next cycle.
