You are right I live thousands of miles away from both the middle east and Europe although right now I am in Seattle preparing to leave for Germany so I suspect I will be close enough but if my government started to limit my movements or freedom to perform my daily functions based on some obscure threats posted by a bunch of lunatics in another country I would do all I could to get rid of that government.
The simple fact is by locking down countries due to a mixture of fear and paranoia is the equivalent of letting ISIS run your country, I honestly do not think you even have the right to an opinion on this matter as you have basically already surrendered.
You want to win this battle, get on with your lives and stop panicking at the sound of fireworks, go outside and be "free" to do the all pointless crap that being in the free world allows us to do. Will terrorists give up no, and yes they will succeed once in a while but then you still have more chance of being run over crossing the road than you do of being the victim of a terrorist attack.
Alternatively stay at home, lock yourself away and pray to what ever deity you can be scared into believing in that the big bad bogey man doesn't find you shaking under the bed before the rest of the world has time to come and rescue you again.
