There are other ways to lead and to be a moral leader in this world, rather than at the opposite end of a drone strike...

Leaders lead with principles not by polls. Fear is not an effective value when leading during a crisis.

To say we'll only take Christians will play into the hands of Isil and give them a recruiting tool. Give them a religious war-which it is not, it's a war against a barbaric group of genocidal terrorists.

Good interview...so much more...there.
