Description
Samuel Huntington has argued that the Islamic and Western worlds are at odds due to
irreconcilable differences in culture and religion, and as a result both will form broad
civilizations that will inevitably lead to conflict. Samuel Huntington's thesis in the "Clash of
Civilizations" is incorrect because the United States is not at war with Islamic world; rather the
conflicts involving the United States in the Middle East are driven by realist national and
strategic interests of security, oil, and domestic policy. The unprecedented recent wave of Arab
revolutions in 2011 have made it more vital than ever to understand the true reasons for the
United State's conflicts in the Middle East so that prudent future foreign policy decisions can be
made.
