Dr. Peter Stephenson, Professor of Anthropology an der University of Victoria in British Columbia, hat sich mit dem Thema "Clash of Civilization" auseinenadergesetzt:

Some American troops were becoming impatient with the failure of most Iraqis to show enthusiasm for the invasion. "I expected a lot more people to surrender," one soldier told a reporter. "From all the reports we got, I thought they would all capitulate." Another soldier was unimpressed with the ruins of the ancient city of Ur, the birthplace of Abraham. "I've been all the way through this desert from Basra to here and I ain't seen one shopping mall or fast food restaurant," he told a British reporter. "These people got nothing. Even in a little town like ours of 2,500 people you got a McDonald's at one end and a Hardee's at the other!"

A clash of civilizations, indeed.
