We've heard of an organization that's working its way across the Middle East. It's butchering men on the way, enslaving women, and selling children. It's destroying the religious communities and minority communities as it goes. I think it's the height of simplemindedness to think that we can walk across and shake hands, hold hands for a while, sing some modern version of Kumbaya, and all will be well. I just don't buy that. We have some international responsibilities. We've been glad to play our part, and we will continue to do that.
