As some frolic on the White House lawn to celebrate Osama bin Laden’s death, I have to say I particularly appreciated the large number of YAL members and other liberty people in my Facebook feed this morning. A few of the more noteworthy comments:
-
- sent a loud message to the world: Mess with the U.S. and we’ll bankrupt ourselves trying to find a few dozen men. So if you’re the kind of terrorist comfortable with suicide missions and want to bring down the U.S. economy, please come on over and attack us again. As an added bonus, we’ll trample on our own citizens’ civil liberties, humiliate and sexually assault them in airports, and completely ignore our own Constitution, so you’ll have effectively destroyed our freedoms AND our prosperity.” — YAL’s Wes Messamore

I was going to write up my own commentary at greater length, but I really couldn’t top this.
Cross-posted on my blog — with a few more personal reflections — here.
