If we did everything the rest of the world wanted, we'd all be speaking German or Russian. The world wanted to appease Hitler, the world wanted to appease Stalin. It took Americans to actually stand up for liberty to bring down the great monoliths of evil.

If we did what the world wanted, we'd be letting the Islamists do whatever they wanted: Cutting off the heads of infidels, cutting off every womens genitals and spreading hate.


"World" != "your preselected hateful minority"


I think it's interesting that your reaction, when presented with this information, is to get defensive.
