It's pathetic that the most powerful nation in the history of the world will hide cowering under its bed at the mere suggestion that one refugee in 10,000 might harbor a less-than-rosy view of the US.

We should recognize this as an amazing opportunity to demonstrate the real strength and the real beauty of our country, instead of an excuse to broadcast our xenophobia worldwide.
