"Tens of millions"? Is this a WHO or Amnesty International number, or a figure Nancy Pelosi came up during a Botox bender?
I've been to Grenada and I've been to Haiti. You won't find one person in either of these places that would turn down an offer to come to the US to live and work, nor will you find anyone there that would prefer to be ruled by Hugo Chavez, a nutter who makes Che Guevara look like Churchill.
It's a long, complex argument, but I would suggest, that when Islamic radicals murder Belgian film makers and Danish cartoonists have to go into hiding, that the US can hardly be faulted for being the tip of the spear in terms of tempering the ascendency of Islamic radicalism.
