Just Out of Curiosity,
Is Anybody Going To Stick Up for This Guy at Some Point?

by Ron Hogan

Samuel Huntington takes another drubbing for Who Are We?, as Robert Lovato "can't but wonder what awaits all Americans of Latin American descent as Huntington lunges into the domestic component of his perilous vision known as 'The Clash of Civilizations...'" Lovato then goes on to call the book psychological warfare, "another very dangerous installment in the career of a seasoned national security specialist," and all but accuses Huntington of stirring up racism for political effect.

Seriously--I'll cop to my own political biases readily enough, but is the only reason I haven't seen anybody supporting Huntington simply that I'm not looking hard enough? I mean, this is a guy of whom Robert Kaplan says, "His view of the world will be the way it really looks." So surely somebody out there in the mainstream media must be on the record as seeing eye to eye with Huntington on the Latino immigration issue. As always, if you've got something for me to look at, put it in a comment!
