Collective will supplants individual whim
Samuel P. Huntington

Samuel P. Huntington
Turkey has its own interests and historically, Turkey conquered most of the Arab world, and the Arabs had to fight wars of liberation to free themselves from the Turks. That's in the past and that doesn't necessarily shape what is going on but it's there and it's there in people's memories.
Samuel P. Huntington
I am doubtful that there will be any sort of real coherence of Muslim societies into a single political system run by an elected or non-elected group of leaders.
Samuel P. Huntington

Samuel P. Huntington
Two significant developments in the past several decades have been the collapse of communism as an ideology and the general acceptance, in rhetoric, if not practice, of liberal democracy.
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
The relations between countries in the coming decade are most likely to reflect their cultural commitments, their cultural ties and antagonism with other countries.
Samuel P. Huntington
There are lots of conflicts going on in the Middle East. It is unclear as to which country will emerge, if any, as the dominant or hegemonic power in the Middle East.
Samuel P. Huntington
Thus, biologically speaking the American people are literally only half an immigrant people.
Samuel P. Huntington
Fascism and communism have not entirely disappeared but have been sidelined certainly, and liberal democracy has come to be accepted, in theory at least, around the world, if not always in practice.
Samuel P. Huntington
