Well, I guess we have an impasse. Some seem happy to live in a tit-for-tat world, so long as their side's tit blsasts the hell out of the other sides tat.
Another view is that some young muslims may be 'converted' by a big mac from maccas, and a pair of Prada shoes (they do sell shoes also, dont they?).
Another view is offered by Robert Kaplan, in a Foreign Policy essay:
As the ability of the west to organise the world to its liking, recedes into history, you'd better teach your kids how to survive in chaos. A chaos that sadly grows out of the west's vision of an organised world.
Kaplan points to Augustine's "City of God" as a solution. We've had 2000 years of that solution, and I suggest that the experience we've all had in one version of that 'city' demonstrates that Augustine's version of the 'city' is part of the problem, not a possible solution.
