Really? I suspect the families of the thousands of people killed in Northern Australia by the Japanese during WW2 may disagree with you on that point.
You quoted from a famous historical figure who was a founder of your country to lecture us that giving away liberty for safety was a bad thing yet you actually are doing the exact opposite.
That is the point.
As far as George III & Henry VIII. Well I never met them and all I know about them is from history which is always written by the winning side.
I do know, however, that if it was not for George III et al. you would probably be speaking French or Spanish right now.
