‘Free’ exchange
It is wonderful that Syrians are celebrating their first taste of freedom after 55 years of living under an autocratic family that ruled by fear. Meanwhile, Americans have decided that we don’t really like the taste of freedom after all, so we now await the coronation of a leader who promises to limit freedom and rule by fear. What’s wrong with this picture?
— Jeff and Joan Ganeles, Utica, NY
