America was founded by explorers and conquerors, not "immigrants." If those guys had been immigrants they'd have had to learn indian...
Ledeen isn't kidding. He really believes that America has a Manifest Destiny.
"I think the level of casualties is secondary. I mean, it may sound like an odd thing to say, but all the great scholars who have studied American character have come to the conclusion that we are a warlike people and that we love war. . . .

And if the war goes well and if the American public has the conviction that we're being well-led and that our people are fighting well and that we're winning, I don't think casualties are going to be the issue."
Fun fact: Ledeen was denied tenure at Washington University because he plagiarized.
Hat tip to JeremÃas.
