Following September 11th 2001 I frequently heard the comment from prominent Americans "They (the perpetrators of this horror) want to hurt us because we are free!"
Freedom is relative of course and many in the world might rightly consider my American partner free. But when I turn to wave to her one last time at the airport as I reluctantly leave America and I see her tear-stained face nothing will convince me that she is free!
