And that’s why the Spanish were able to conquer the Aztec, Inca and just about anybody they faced in the 16th century. Seven hundred years of near-constant warfare tends to toughen up the men of a nation.

Are you referring to this tidbit as an optimist or a pessimist?

Because eight hundred years is a long time for a country to be living under shariah law.
