Chesterton and America

If you have time, do read GK Chesterton's article entitled "What is America?". If he were alive today, this essay would serve as a perfect text for the 9/11 events. He really understood what this country is all about. In the article, he made a very bold, but true statement, that the "US Constitution is the closest thing to the Spanish Inquisition" because America is the only country in the world that is based upon a "religious creed" and therefore, atheism is really officially condemned in this nation. He states that there are Moslem countries that have much more freedom than the USA, though America does allow everyone to live in it (and the others don't). It is an excellent article and I am sure it will be of great interest.
