From his site:
"The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact, non-Westerners never do."
-Samuel P. Huntington
Ya know, if more people in the West understood this fact they might have a better grasp of all the anti-Western (primarily anti-US) sentiment in the world. It has nothing to do with being jealous of the top dog, or hating their freedoms and democracy. A "War on Terrorism" will obviously never work, and for some reason people keep avoiding the simple first step in the solution, and that is talking about the problem.
Thanks for the link.
