<<<The idea that we in the "west" have THE superior culture in the world. The "West" is the "core" civilization.>>>

I am in total agreement with that, but why are we fighting (strongly disagreeing and having them strongly disliking us) with the Germans, French, Canadians, Scandinavians, and other Europeans. We are not the totality of Western Civilization.

Western Civilization is about accepting what is good and true no matter where it comes from. It is about truth and justice.

Finally Western Civilization is about love and not killing your neighbors - or not killing anybody. That is a core belief. That is Western Civilizations finest value.

NeoConservatism - from what I understand of it is about killing off all those that may be a danger to "our" society. (I don't really understand how "our" society is defined).

It does not seem to square with Western Civilization as I understand it.
