I was reading about the Russian Revolution today and came across something that I think very much applies today. The White Army was often in disagreement about their end goals, with their only uniting factor being that they wanted to defeat the Red Army. I think that’s part of our problem today, as well. We value free thought and freedom, while our enemy is 100% united in whatever goal it is that they set out to achieve (no matter how sinister it may be). In a free society, disagreement is necessary. But we are dealing with an enemy who takes advantage of that at every possible opportunity. Not sure how other feel about that, but it definitely caught my attention today.

Your post made me realize something...

Are there any examples throughout history of a powerful, multicultural empire? (And slave-holding doesn't count as multiculturalism.)

Diversity is not our strength?
