There Has Been An Irish Lobby That

There Will Be Associations And Partnerships Between Some Muslim Countries And Some Christian Countries. Those Already Exist. And They May Shift As Different Regimes Come And Go And Interests Change.

Countries Will Cooperate With Each Other, And Are More Likely To Cooperate With Each Other When They Share A Common Culture, As Is Most Dramatically Illustrated In The European Union. But Other Groupings Of Countries Are Emerging In East Asia And In South America. Basically, As I Said, These Politics Will Be Oriented Around, In Large Part, Cultural Similarities And Cultural Antagonism.

The Question Really Is What Will Be The Central Focus Of Global Politics In The Coming Decades And My Argument Is That Cultural Identities And Cultural Antagonisms And Affiliations Will Play Not The Only Role But A Major Role.

When I Think Of Countries That I Enjoyed Visiting, That I Would Want To Go Back To, Italy Would Be One, Japan Would Be Another. I've Only Been To Indonesia Once Or Twice And It Seems Like Such A Fascinating Country. I Guess India Certainly.

I Don't Think That The Israeli Lobby Is Unique. It May Differ From The Others In The Extent By Which It Is Focused On Just One Issue, Which Is The Survival Of Israel, Which Is Understandable, And Promoting Israeli Development And Aid To Israel, And So Forth And So On.
