Huntington;
Man's brilliant, but unsound. "Clash of Civilizations", indeed!
That said, he is quite correct to see America falling apart. Then again, any beat cop could tell us much the same thing, and would recommend similar, and perhaps better, solutions.
"Recommitment" to our founding principles will make us little more than Amish in Amrika (arabic for my homeland and yours).
The solution, of course, is to commit ourselves to our survival as a nation and a civilization. And i mean our physical survival.
The creeping third-worldism within, the assaults of Islam without, growing domestic anarchy and lawlessness by office-holders (gay marriage is but the latest example) -- these things are direct and existential threats. IN defense of ourselves, nothing is "out of the question".

I would be highly surprised in the next 10-20 years if there isn't a culture war in this country. The liberals will all hole up in their bastions of power, like California and New York, and become even more polarized, and the same will happen with fly over country and ultra conservatives.
In the end, I hope, moderation will reinstate itself, but I'd rather let the libs have full control over their own stomping grounds and leave the rest of us the hell alone.
Especially when the liberals will find the hispanic majority in California isn't going to return their bleeding heart sympathies.

There is no chance. Even here, one is not allowed to discuss any useful answers to the problem. Just vote for Bush and he'll take us the slow scenic route to hell.
