      Yeah, I'm sure since terrorists hate countries that are free they decided to pick on the 8th freest country in the world and leave all the rest alone.

          I wish the USA was just a little bit more free, I would shove my shotgun up your ass and pull the trigger.

            The criteria was carefully selected just to get the US to #9 on the list. In terms of free nations US struggles to make the top 25.
