Nine failed empires, 5,000 years of history. Are we next?
Sam Huntington set off an incendiary device with his article "The Clash of Civilizations?" in Foreign Affairs in mid-1993. What sparked it was the scholar's commonsense remark that nations still die. "Civilizations are dynamic," he said, "they rise and fall; they divide and merge. And, as any student of history knows, civilizations disappear and are buried in the sands of time." Today’s architects of "change" were shocked by his candid confession. But as I've spoken coast to coast and appeared on more than 280 radio and television broadcasts the past two years I've seen the alarm of Americans who sense that something HAS gone wrong. The fabric is torn. Dramatic breakdown looms. But it’s gratifying to see that my book is being used to rearm people with ideas, to help them become more active. One called it "ammunition for the culture wars." America is history's greatest testament to human "freedom and dignity." But we will only avoid the fate of nations when we decide to arm ourselves intellectually and spiritually to preserve our dynamic heritage. -- J. Nelson Black, Ph.D.
