Heres your problem right here..........
& the idiots that came before him & those that will follow him.........
The world is seen narrowly: only how it effects us...
We are good they are suspect or worse.........
THat others suffer that we may relax & partake....... That is but a small price to pay........
We do not wish to change the world to mirror our image but rather change the world to suit our life style & comfort.
Rules, treaties & the like our mere formalities & tools to keep others in line & are subject to change given our needs.........
Like those that came before us:
Not to accept this is inconceivable.
Not to embrace it is incomprehensible...
& to oppose it is sheer madness........
That others do have their own legitimate goals & aspirations is only a consideration as to how it may effect our own.
Opposition= bad, fanatical, militant, radical, terrorist etc. (ppl unlike ourselves lacking "legitimately" as defined by us- as in back in the day how they defined the Native as savages, brutes w/out souls etc.... Vilifying enemies has a long tradition)
Allies/friends etc: (those that share our values/wealth & in the exploitation & profit) No real need to define this other than to say those that are like us...........
