description: Don't blame al-Qaeda. Don't blame Ashcroft. Look to yourself. Since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the United States has been swinging from one extreme to another. At first, most citizens were so worried about being killed that they called for security at almost any cost. Then, when that cost became clear, some citizens protested that the amount was too high. From a keen Libertarian perspective, Walsh analyzes the effects of 9/11--and some Americans' childish notions of "liberty," demonstrating that Americans' ideas of liberty had been blurring for years. And he argues that these troubled times can force a clarification of what words like "liberty," "society" and "rights" truly mean.
