In his Terror and Liberalism, Paul Berman argued against Huntington, that distinct cultural boundaries don't exist in present day, that there is no "Islamic civilization" nor a "Western civilization". And that the evidence for a civilization clash is not convincing, esp when considering the relationship such as that between the United States and Saudi Arabia. As proof for this directly , the Bush family have quietly & smartly adopted a third son known as "Bandar Bush" who regularly stays @ the Texas Ranch, embraced as a son but more importantly has some 7% or the US GDP worth of monies here, near $800-9Bil. No particular problem for me, i like Saudi's for they're usually very elegant, intelligent & far seeing peoples who have a total grasp that we have our own sets of whackos, throw backs & isolationist nutjobs here (like tu!) Meet prince "Bandar Bush" the adopted 3rd son of the Bush Family who has near a Trillion invested here whos father as well as himself are huge covert funders of many US covert opps in the ME going back to the Iran Contra affair with Reagan. Here is your brother Arab, pootie tang, along with Rush Limbaugh your kissing cousin & slimey mentor.
