Born Free

How about the story of 16 year-old Katherine Lester -- straight A scholar and student council member -- who met a 27 year-old Jordanian guy on MySpace, tricked her parents into getting her a passport, and managed to buy a ticket and get herself on a plane to the Middle East to meet the dude?

Though her quest for romance was ultimately denied by heartless agents of the U.S. and Jordanian diplomatic and security forces, Ms. Lester emdodies the freedom George W Bush and the U.S. Military say they want to bestow upon the Middle East, yet it's a sense of freedom the Middle East will find hard to come by, and which Mr. Bush and his allies fear more than anything in this world.
