frank - thanks for this, it was a very interesting read.

Just one question: Especially at the end of your post, in the lines that start with "It means that...", I get the sense that the current struggle that you have identified as modern vs archaic has become the new cold war of our age. This I find worrisome. I fear that we will be living through another era of cold war, with similar cruel tactics, justifiable by the goal of preventing the spread of Islamist rule in the moderate countries with muslim populations.

Already Arabs are held in the suspicious regard that was once reserved for Russians, there is a very clear sense of Us and Them, and the US administration is trying very hard to polarize the world according to countries who are "with us or against us", just like during the times of the cold war.

What do you think about this?
