So let's cut to the chase. Why don't you tell me what bad public policy you think resulted from Huntington's article, and we can talk about that. Sorry, CB, I didn't say that or, if I did, I should not have. What I said was the Bushies have avoided this kind of policy frame, for the moment. Let's hope they continue to do so. Just a very quick response so as to keep the thread from becoming a Said thread. The last thing it seems to me that should happen in this moment is to think this is all about the West versus Islam (Huntington's frame). There are so many negative ramifications of that thought, I hesitate to list even one. And most are too obvious to type. Just leave it at that. If you wish to continue this in private e-mail, I would be happy to do so. Of if Ken does not mind, I could type a long defense of what I'm saying, you could critique each point of it, others could respond to all that, and we would be off arguing about Said. I think that's as fruitless as arguing about Chomsky. It is, most likely, just an opportunity for folk to state their already arrived at conclusions rather than enter into a discussion in which they learn from one another. John
