I hope this new issue of The Three Swords, the magazine of the Ten years ago, the United Joint Warfare Centre, will be of interest to all. States was struck by the most CDR (SG) Helene M. W. Langeland gruesome terrorist attack. Like Royal Norwegian Navy most of you, I still remember JWC Chief PAO watching in disbelief live foot- age of the surreal assaults and their devastating results. The first questions that came into my mind were, “How could this happen?” and “Why would anybody want to at- tack America?” To think that somebody would consider launching an attack on the U.S. mainland was something totally unexpected to me, and probably to most other people as well. What happened served as an effective wakeup call, bringing into focus, among other things, the massive vulnerability of our open, multicultural democratic societies. Overnight average citizens started voicing concern about the safety and security of their society. On 22 July of this year, the unthinkable happened to Norway. All of a sudden, my small, peaceful country was shaken to its roots by a hor- rifying terrorist attack, and my and most other people’s view of Norway as the incarnation of a safe and peaceful corner of the world was shat- tered forever. Again and again, we asked ourselves how this could hap- pen. This time, however, that question quickly turned into: “Is it at all possible to defend our societies against terror? Or is terror the price we One minute’s silence for Norwegian victims at NATO HQ, have to be willing to pay for living in open, multicultural democracies?” 25 July 2011. Photo by NATO.
