If US foreign policy were conducted on a basis of what is popular internationally and who has the best chance of winning despite our aid to one or the other than the US would have sided with the Axis during WW2 who were virtually assured of victory had we not sent arms to the UK and USSR and ultimately joined in directly against the fascist powers.
Fuck “the street”, fuck the UN, we must do what we think is right, not what is popular. History respects ideals and principals in the face of critics, not spineless collaborationists who do whatever one tells them to do without a whimper merely because it is the popular thing to do.
The reason legends like the Knights of the Round Table in King Arthur’s Court are remembered was they tired to make the world a better place for us to live in, at the time assuming they are real they probably had a lot of critics of theirs as well of the same mentality as today saying they were overly judgmental and imposing their will on others. It was from fighting through such adversity and their high ideals that their memory will always be cherished and a shining beacon of what mankind can create when properly motivated and marshaled to action.
