Note that the Spartans, who had long been enemies of the other Greek city states, put aside their differences and animosities to fight a common foe who was bent on destroying all of Greek civilization. Contrast this to today, where even after a murderous attack on US soil by an enemy that has vowed to destroy all of Western Civilization, the liberals and Democrats in Congress cannot put aside their partisan politics for one minute even to save our very democracy. If this crowd had been in Congress in 1941 we would all be preparing to celebrate Hitler's birthday.
Amen to that.
