Partial truths or half-truths are often more insidious than total falsehoods.

I don't know what will happen 100 years from now.

If one of the drafters of the Declaration of Independence came back today, he would not be surprised about what Americans were saying and believing and articulating in their public statements. It would all sound rather familiar.

The biggest difference as far as Muslims in Europe and America are concerned is that the number of Muslims in America is small compared to the number in Europe.

In the coming decades, questions of identity, meaning cultural heritage, language, and religion will play a central role in politics.

Well, I think the United States first of all has to recognize the world for what it is.

Countries will cooperate with each other, and are more likely to cooperate with each other when they share a common culture, as is most dramatically illustrated in the European Union. But other groupings of countries are emerging in East Asia and in South America. Basically, as I said, these politics will be oriented around, in large part, cultural similarities and cultural antagonism.
