The terrorists thought liberty made us weak. They were dead wrong. [OpinionJournal]
This editorial is based on a false premise. In fact the terrorists knew that liberty makes people strong. That's why they chose to attack using the aspect of American life which had been most deprived of liberty. By hijacking airplanes, they did not attack a free America, but Communist North Korea or Nazi Germany.
In fact, from the actions they've taken since the attacks, it is painfully clear that the Federal government thinks that liberty makes us weak, and they are determined to "strengthen" the country by depriving us of as much liberty as they can manage.
