As inspiring and rallying the speech was, and very good to raise awareness, it was pretty clear to me - already while watching it - that she's not going to be taken seriously. She made basic rhetoric mistakes that are very hindering if you are trying to convince someone of your point. Examples are imitating the opposition's voice, bringing up unrelated points (who is being fought for) and direct accusation.

For what it's worth, the EU is very progressive when it comes to things like this. I figure you are referring to the likes of the Middle East or China.
When it comes down to it, it's a commonly asked question - "Should we back down now out of fear of terrorists?" Personally, I'd say no.

Somewhat a moot point since lots of those live outside the US and communicate worldwide.
