I'm reading a biography of Julius Caesar. His dealings with the Gauls were rather sterner stuff than we've seen out of any U.S. administration.
His purposes aren't ours, of course, but there is a way to deal with people who are fanatically dedicated to killing you that doesn't involve kissing the ring of an Arabian king.
Sure there are ways. But our dhimmi leaders cringe at the thought of using them. They can’t even protect our borders.
