More than anything else in this conversation, Grumman's remarks (and the
various reactions and non-reactions to them) reveal the true nature of
this country's cultural divide.

Ironically, they don't seem to help reveal the true nature of the "enemy's"
cultural divide. People such as him don't seem to recognize that the exact
same variation in values exists in other countries and cultures. That it's
simply not true that every Muslim is out for blood, just as it's not true
that every American is out for blood.

It's like the dog barking at the mirror, who just doesn't get that the fear
and aggression he's seeing is just himself.
