Yeah, well, MY ancestors dealt with nazis by giving them all favorable business deals or jobs with the government and industry and probably also blowing them, and that seems to have turned out just fine in ways that have no bearing on any current situation, so why don't we accept that that different cultures can have different equally valid ways of addressing problems?
