Samuel P. Huntington
In the coming decades, questions of identity, meaning cultural heritage, language, and religion will play a central role in politics.
Samuel P. Huntington
The U.S. has and still is cooperating with various military dictatorships around the world. Obviously we would prefer to see them democratized, but we are doing it because we have national interests, whether it's working with Pakistan on Afghanistan or whatever.
Samuel P. Huntington
Maybe Iraq will come back and become the dominant power among Arab countries. That seems to me as conceivable.
Samuel P. Huntington
People everywhere talk about Islam and the West. Presumably that has some relationship to reality, that these are entities that have some meaning and they do. Of course the core ofthat reality is differences in religion.
Samuel P. Huntington
