Not only is the West so successful economically, but it leads the world scientifically, and culturally.

In Saudi Arabia, among other countries, Muslims are not free to convert to Christianity, and Christians are not free to practice their faith. The Koran is not a rights-respecting document.

The West has given the world the symphony, and the novel.

Not only is the West so successful economically, but it leads the world scientifically, and culturally.

I maintain that Western popular culture at its best is worthy of respect and should be cherished as much as the operas of Wagner.

I wish more people would belabor the obvious, and more often.

By working and living in New York, you are breathing Western civilization, continuously reminded of its benefits and its values.
