" It doesn’t matter. In their minds we are an extension of Europe. Everything the West is, whether it’s Europe or America, is connected. Seven minutes or seven centuries ago, it’s all the same to them. They paint us with the same brush. It’s frustrating as hell, but these people just don’t think the way we do. - Jack Rutledge "
