When Irene made the comment you quote, it was clear she wasn't familiar with
Huntington's thesis, and as his book is long, technical and difficult to
read, I posted his 1993 article from Foreign Affairs that gives some insight
into Huntington's thesis. Here it is again,

> Germany was/is IN (as in was a member of) the Western Civilization, and we
fought a WORLD WAR against them. Therefore, what does "Clash of
Civilizations" mean?
What about Japan? I seem to recall there was some unpleantries with Japan in
1930-1945. Is
Japan a different civilization, or part of the Western economic world?
This "clash of civilizations" has zero economic reality. It's just the pipe
dream of arm
chair generals who prove their valor by sending others to die in meaningless
wars.
