Too bad he’s no longer with us:
Charles M. Lichenstein, American Envoy at the U.N.
On Sept. 19, 1983, he said to the Soviet delegation:

Yeah, the infidel owes it to the Muslim.
You are either with us or against us. - Bush the Younger
So much for that false sentiment.
Countries that choose NOT to stand with us are doing us a favor - we now has a list of places we can save money by cutting foreign aid.
