Explain the one rule, fight to the death. Then shoot the winner. Told you it was a simple thought, not that it was possible. I’m a simple person and have a simple answer:

We have a very awkward relationship with the unpleasant bits of our history in this country. We can't understand why other nations don't get on board with our "terrorism bad!" campaign when we've supported some really horrifying regimes in the not-so-recent history. I don't know what the answer is. I don't think we should just keep apologizing for past errors for the rest of time, and I think we honestly do much better these days. But our happy blindness to our own history doesn't serve us too well in the international arena.
