“if the Polish nation rises up and fights back, I think lots of Americans would want to help.”
I would hope we would rise up and help them, before it was too late. I’m not sure, though. I’m doing some research on the Muslim nations’ financial investments in our universities and based just on the most recent Department of Education report of funding over the past ten years or so, Muslim nations, (most notably Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Qatar, Bahrain, Malaysia) have spent about $400 million on gifts and contracts with U.S. publicly funded universities, including Harvard, Johns Hopkins, University of Arkansas, the University of California system, Tufts, Tulane, Duke, Rice Clemson. Texas A&M, Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, Georgetown, Virginia Commonwealth system and NYU either have or are setting up satellite campuses (campi?) in the United Arab Emirates or Qatar or Oman. The question will be whether the universities will obstruct the nation’s response against Muslim incursion.
Interesting research. There are a lot of ways it could become useful, once completed.
Americans are still, in general, egalitarian-spirited and anti-elitist. I think this explains a lot of the reaction against John Kerry in 2004 and Al Gore in 2000. I wonder if a good, thorough set of research on Islamic influence over east and west coast universities, if released at the right time, could turn the tide against secular elitists on a number of fronts? That is, whack them not just for their siding with our enemies, but expose their susceptibility to all forms of anti-Americanism, their cockamammy teaching of western history, their adherence to multi-culturalism, support for illegal immigrant amnesty, etc.
