"Afraid of Americans"

The best writer on the internets:

And the crack den is full of talk about how the Bush administration has made us all stupid with fear of terrorism. But to my mind, that's never been the biggest sin this administraton and all of us have committed after 9/11. It's not that we're afraid of terrorists. It's that we're afraid of ourselves, and each other. The spying, the conservatarians' "you can spy on me, I've done nothing wrong" response, that's not about being afraid of terrorists, that's about being afraid of Americans, and America.
