Comments on: Aftermath http://www.jasonjay.com/blog/?p=75 Editor's note: This blog is an online archive of my writing from 2001-2005. It includes a series of travel reflections originally sent as emails to friends and family during my 2001 world travels. It also includes blog entries from my year as a student at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, from my summer playing music in Montreal, and from my two years as a consultant for Dialogos. Some of my views have changed and some of my plans have not come to pass. But I am keeping this material online for future reference and others' link integrity.

I can't believe the government in the U.S. and Britain has the guts to come out and say "But they're free!!!". Free to be looted. Free to be searched at gunpoint. Free to die. I don't know if you remember the half-Christian Arab girl who audited Wendy's class and who has family in Baghdad. I talked to her during the TiE reception and she said her relatives were all staying home and only walking from home to Church and back because if you drive a car and stop at a traffic light, a looter might drag you out of your car and drive off. Freedom!! The irony kills me. I can’t believe the government in the U.S. and Britain has the guts to come out and say “But they’re free!!!”.
