It definitely brought out the very worst impulses in our people. I still remember the exact number of Muslim students who got ran off campus when I was in college at the time: 47.
that lead to americas current state. weakened. divided. quickly losing its position on the world stage. who knows if that was intended but it was the result. an oponent does not give away their whole hand. if he had explained what he thought would happen it would cause us to behave differently these last 25 years.
