He’s treating the attacks as a policing matter (a crime), not as a military matter (that is, something requiring a “war on terror” with concomitant war-footing). He acknowledges that his country will be changed by the attacks, but he’s hopes it will be “more open, a more tolerant society than what we had before.” My goodness, what I would have given to hear those words sometime in the autumn of 2001.

Yep, well said. So much better than the paranoid reactions of so 
many other "leaders" that only mean to restrict and destroy our 
already limited freedom.

And just for the record: "None are more hopelessly enslaved than 
those who falsely believe they are free."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
