jrtomNY Times: The Speech Misheard Round the World
The most interesting part about this article, to me, is actually the notion that there are two concepts of freedom in the US: one that "emphasizes civil liberties, political participation and social justice" and one that "means doing what one wants and getting one's way".
Or, since most US citizens are relatively privileged, perhaps "other people's freedoms" and "my freedoms" might be one way of looking at it (although the article doesn't put it that way).
