About what?

About "Le choc des civilisations" ("Clash of Civilizations"?), i guess.

The guy wrote that after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the world would change.
No more ideologic cleavages between capitalism, communism, imperialism or anti-imperialism, but cultural divides.
He said that there will be a resurgence of identity sentiment (as in the Muslim World or in eatstern Europe)

Religion takes a big place in this book to explain his point of view about our future.

If gropouce agrees count me in ... the French are superior academics ... even the dumb ones.

:lol:

Don't forget: I am the dumb one.

I didn't include a link because I figured that most would know what I am talking about.

My mistake:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Clash_of_Civilizations

It's a pretty good summary.

I like the idea concerning "fault line war" as it seems quite accurate.
