Guantánamo Bay is the anti-Statue of Liberty

There are times when you read and come across a sentence that you just want to cheer for it. "Guantánamo Bay is the anti-Statue of Liberty." -- "9/11 is Over" by Thomas L. Friedman from New York Times did just that.

What has the U.S. gained from its anti-terrorism-oriented policy? Mounting deaths in Iraq, flagging economy, less attraction to the foreign tourists and businesses, and NOTHING.

Friedman wrote "stupid" twice in this article, italic. This gotta mean something. Are we still gonna continue fighting relentlessly with an enemy at the cost of our friends, allies, and ourselves?
