When I hear thet 'we' believe the rest of the world shares basically the same values as we do, I wonder what is concealed in this word 'basic'. Not much of relevance to current affairs, I think. Our problem, touched on in your summary of the new Huntington book, is how to put out the fire of Muslim extremism. That requires a practical agenda for now.
