I don't have too much to comment on this article in terms of what is going on. It has been happening for the last decade, we are just starting to pay attention.

Something that struck me, however, was the fact that this conflict between European civilization (America included) and the Middle Eastern civilization has been going on pretty much since there has been civilzation. The Romans solved it by totally destroying Carthage and enslaving the people. The Middle East had a period of strength about 1000 years ago and they almost conquered Europe.

Strangely, they are now picking a fight with the West that they are certain to lose.

A transformation on the scale of post-war Germany in which major elements that define their civilizational charachter (namely miliarism) may have to be erased. And that only happens as the result of a catstrophic battle.

I thank you George for trying to avoid it, but I fear your efforts may have been in vain.

And he warned Western leaders, "You may kill bin Laden, but the phenomenon, you cannot kill it — you cannot destroy it."

Well actually YES we can...and are.
