In the emerging world of ethnic conflict and civilizational clash, Western belief in the universality of Western culture suffers three problems: it is false; it is immoral; and it is dangerous.

Many of the most difficult questions concerning the role of ethnic minorities centers on language.

Critics say that America is a lie because its reality falls so far short of its ideals. They are wrong. America is not a lie; it is a disappointment. But it can be a disappointment only because it is also a hope.

The basis of association and antagonism among countries has changed over time.

I don't say that the West is united, I don't suggest that.
