Bleeding-heart libs like Brooks live, like all libs, in the world of make-believe. Instead of acknowledging the way the world actually is, they imagine the world to be as they wish it to be. That is everybody would be friendly and living in peace and harmony if it wasn't for those nasty western countries...especially the U.S. Except non-Muslims don't go around beheading schoolgirls in the name of Allah. Despite all the evidence to the contrary, libs insist that Islam is not the problem with global violence...even though 99% of all political violence worldwide is caused by Islamic terrorists. Brooks is just another reality-challenged liberal...of which most libs are.
