I breazed the article, and got bored quite quickly. If its about societies's developing narratives which leads to that societies destruction or collapse, fortunately we have elections in the US which produce new leadership every 4 to 8 years. So if he doesn't like GB's "You are with us or against us" don't worry, GB will be gone Jan 1 '09. Someone else will have his shot for 4 or 8 years, and someone else after that.

I think the peaceful transition of leadership is something that make the US pretty great.

Islamic fundamentalists do NOT regard their struggle as regional. They have a universal and exclusive creed.

As for the blather about creating imperial narratives - if that author asked the Iraqis about the nature of the "insurgents" who blow up marketplaces, booby-trap corpses, and put childen into car-bombs, he would get a more sensible answer.
