Definately an interesting take on culture clash, and makes some very good points. I might follow up with the technology angle, and the evolution it is forcing on Humankind as a whole. Part of the issue between these cultures is based on the economics of Energy vs. Technology in my opinion, as the west has the technology to improve living standards (which is what everyone wants in the long run), while the east carries the power of the energy required to make the technology function. Rather than a clean exchange of resources, there is a battle for control.....its a pity.
