Clearly there is evil in the world. ISIL is evil. Refugees are not evil. I think it is interesting that one of the bodies here could come up with a piece of legislation. draft it. debate it. and vote on it in a couple of days to label refugees as "foreign enemies" when we have been at war for 17 months against ISIL and we havent been able to have a debate in this body to authorize military force and declare that they are an enemy. There is evil in the world. and part of what we must do is call it out and be willing to stand against it. The great Irish poet Yeats talked about a situation where the best lack all conviction and the worst are filled with passionate intensity.
