It was one thing to contain the Soviet Union in Europe because Britain, France, and Germany were all willing to join in. But will Japan and other Asian countries be willing to join in the containment of China?

I think it's hard to talk about the Muslim world and Christian world as blocks.

I've been to Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait for brief visits at conferences, and they are very interesting countries.

I think fundamentalism is this radical attitude toward one's own identity and civilization as compared to other people's identities and cultures.

Also, of course, for most of this time most Americans thought of America as a white country with, at best, only a very segregated and subordinate role for blacks.

I think we've seen at least the beginnings of rather significant social and economic change in the Muslim world, which I think will in due course lead to more political change.

I think we can expect leaders of Muslim societies to cooperate with each other on many issues just as Western societies cooperate with each other.
