Indeed, I believe we can all cheer the Republicans for taking the moral high road and realizing that xenophobia has no place in governmental policy-making. Irrational fear of companies based in other nations was wrong under Clinton and remains wrong in the post-9/11 world. Hats off to the Senate Republicans for getting it right the second time.

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
