"Otherwise, we will face a world divided into regional blocs based upon fundamentally different world views, as Samuel Huntington, the real prophet of the 1990s, seemed to predict. That however will not be an unmitigated disaster. It will force us once again to focus on our own civilization, and perhaps to get it back on track."
Unfortunately, the US is just about the last core state, ideologically, in the West, to be in a position to try to get Western Civ back on track.
We, after all, as even so respected a person as Michael Howard pointed out in so many words, were the ones to most take us off that track in the first place, both in 1776, and again after 1945.
