By the way, Zbiggy has already bragged publicly about the astounding success of the" Arc of Crisis" ploy. Although, I presume he's singing smaller since September 11th. Everything changed then--don't 'cha know?
I don't think the discussion of this issue you see before you remotely resembles blind acceptance of anything, nor are its participants asleep, as you imply, or you would hardly have replied in the manner you did. Can you make a substantive argument against Lewis's points without the derision? It might help your credibility as much as quoting LaRouche has hurt it, if I might presume to make a gentle suggestion...
Clearly, as I meant to state, the "clash of civilizations" model suffers from its treatment of both sides as monolithic and the model itself from excessive bipolarism. But the root of the dispute is, I think, something along that line, whether it's stated by Lewis, Huntington, Kissinger, or even LaRouche. Do you agree?
