Did you know the Statue of Liberty has been closed to visitors since 2001? After 911 they said we must keep on being who we are or the terrorists win. Well why is there stories like this where the government has shut down something that should be open to the public out of fear that the terrorists may blow it up?
Or how many times has the West allowed the threat of potential terrorism dictate our behavior? Need a reminder? The cartoon of Muhammad. Comedy Central refused to show the clip from south park with Muhammad in it. Family Guy was censored also.
So I guess we let them win just those times, huh?
NEW YORK - The National Park Service is considering reopening Lady Liberty's crown for the first time since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, according to documents a congressman released on July Fourth.
The park service requested bids last month to study what it would take to safely open the Statue of Liberty's iconic headpiece to the public, according to documents released by U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y.
Liberty Island was closed after the terrorist attacks. The statue's base, pedestal and lower observation deck reopened in August 2004, after a $20 million effort to enhance fire safety.
