From the Paper:

"It is impossible for many to understand how critics can say that freedom had nothing to do with the terrorist attacks when the evidence so clearly shows that it did. It has been over six years since the terrorist attacks, and many Americans no longer live in fear. This is important, because life is not much if one is constantly afraid. However, many Americans have gone back to feeling that they are safe again. They do not take much interest in the government's suggested safety kit for terrorism. Some do not do it because they do not think it will do any good anyway, but others do not do it because they do not feel it will ever be necessary. One can only hope that they are correct, but it seems as though once again they believe that living in America protects them from harm. It is sad to see how quickly they have forgotten the lessons that they learned on September 11th."
