And on that basis, we have not only the right, but the duty, to export our morality.

funny, this would be so far from what Rand would advocate.

I'm no rock-ribbed Randian. But by "export" I only meant "offer an an alternative." I don't imply that we should necessarily FORCE our morality on anyone. If they choose to live like barbarians, the cultural marketplace will ultimately decide their viability. However, if our cultures collide and they make it clear that they cannot co-exist, then I would, without hesitation, remove the option of existence from them.

Islam is a perfect modern-day example.
