However, it’s a simple matter of history that the American people owe a large debt of gratitude to the people of France. It is, after all, the French who presented the Statue of Liberty to the American people as a gift. Even though (and perhaps especially because) George W. Bush has used the War of Terror as a pretext to refuse Americans the right to enter the famous landmark, the Statue of Liberty is a symbol of how people can work across international borders, and even across oceans, in the name of liberty.

I have a Bill Mauldin cartoon which shows the statue of liberty, torch upraised, giving light. Outside the light is a monstrous, menacing creature. Crouched by the figure of Liberty is a person labled “Hysteria” which is saying, “Maybe it will go away if we put out the light.” That was published 1 May 1961. I guess nothing really changes.
