A Showdown Between the West and The Rest

In this excellent article in the Times of London, Amir Taheri makes substantial points about the growing nature of this conflict. Taheri cuts to the essence, and in many ways mirrors the remarks by Prime Minister Tony Blair in Los Angeles which the Neocon covered yesterday. I encourage you to read it; a small sample below:
“This war is one of many battles to be fought between those who wish to join the modern world, warts and all, and those who think they have an alternative. This is a war between the West and what one might describe as “The Rest”, this time represented by radical Islamism. All the talk of a ceasefire, all the diplomatic gesticulations may ultimately mean little in what is an existential conflict.”
