Thomas Friedman wonders, now that the war against Iraq is substantially over, if we can all stop overreacting to 9.11 now? I couldn't agree more. No, I'm not advocating letting our guard down, but I am saying that we as a nation could benefit by ratcheting down the national paranoia level a few notches. We might begin by examining what we've allowed our government to do to our personal liberties in name of anti-terrorism.
