Bring Them Freedom, Or They Destroy Us

Here’s a very interesting and worthwhile lecture from Bernard Lewis that’s posted on Real Clear Politics. It’s semi-long, but well worth a good, thoughtful look.

The final sentence of the piece is simple and profound in reference to the war on Islamofascism:

I think that the effort is difficult and the outcome uncertain, but I think the effort must be made. Either we bring them freedom, or they destroy us.

Now, read the rest to see why he reaches that conclusion.
