War does not encourage the tolerance of opposition at home any more than it does on the front: if the War on Terror is to be a permanent war, then the consequences for American political freedoms cannot be overestimated.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"\u003ci\u003eDissent in Dangerous Times\u003c\/i\u003e examines the nature of political repression in liberal societies, and the political and legal implications of living in an environment of fear.
