Huntington-The Clash-and American Unity.

The death of Samuel Huntington has caused a lot of chin pulling on the fate of America. I being more imperially inclined than Huntington, and believing certain Western institutions are exportable to all parts of the third-world under the right conditions disagreed with him on the margins. But he had to be taken seriously. That is more than can be said for most at Harvard.

Foud Ajami here writes as if "Davos Man" has won. He has not. The Netherlands of all places now has its Labor party reassessing the response to immigration and Islam. This is all to the good.

This country, as usual, is getting European socialism 30 or 40 years late but, hopefully, as usual it will be less virulent and less disastrous to national unity.
