with [Horace] Engdahl's comments? Let's take the phrases "too isolated" and "too insular." Well. I suppose geographically we're fairly isolated from Europe. And therefore farther from the Middle East and Africa and China. And this probably has some non-geographical ramifications. Like, I suppose we really don't identify as much with the secular/traditional culture wars going on in Turkey, and maybe we have a completely different concept of the Israel/Palestine situation than the rest of the world.
