Otherwise, they will be tricked into abandoning universal values, by [the claim that] they are their first discoverers and their truest representatives, when the general feeling of the peoples from whom the Americans learned their values, tends toward the complete opposite. Thus, the danger, which currently concerns the protectors of freedom in Britain and other nations, is that their countries will abandon some of their firm, democratic values in imitation of the American example of restricting freedoms. This reversal shows that American arrogance, which is acknowledged by the sixty intellectuals, has also cast its shadow on the world of logic, and when it is the logic of the mighty which asserts itself and there is no choice for others but to submit, that is the tragedy!

Nearly two hundred years ago Hegel claimed that the end of the dialectic of history had been achieved under the shadow of the mighty Prussian emperor. Marx stole this idea and announced that the end would only come with the establishment of the Proletarian state. When Lenin established this state he made that belief the cornerstone of revolutionary thought which overran half of this planet, and at the end of the century, Professor Fukuyama (whose fingerprints are clearly seen on this open letter) seized upon the fall of the empire of the Proletariat and made the last state to be not Prussia or Russia, but America. At this point, amazingly, he agrees with the “born-again” types one of whom was Reagan (creator of the slogan “Evil Empire” which today has become the “Axis of Evil”), who believe in the coming Millennial Kingdom which they believe will begin around the year 2000. It is as if this were a surprising proof for Hegel’s critics among the German and other philosophers who claim that he took his idea of the “end of history” from Christianity!

This intellectual detour to fabricate philosophical foundations for superiority over others demonstrates a skewed central attitude, which does not allow any consideration for others or their values, but it conceals this by summoning the other to belief in values of which they suppose themselves to be the creators or discoverers.

There is another question about the role of Professor Samuel Huntington, author of the theory of the “clash of civilizations” whose fingerprints are also clear in this letter, and who represents the other face of the crisis of American intellectuals who rejoice in the fulfillment of their prophecies, even if it comes about through the destruction of several nations of the world.

The answer in short, is that the Millennial Kingdom which the fundamentalist right in America believe in, will only be achieved through blood that will be as deep as a horse’s bridle for a distance of 200 miles during the slaughter of Armageddon, (1) which the fundamentalists believe will be the decisive victory of the good, Christian West over the evil, Muslim East, with the participation of 400 million men as well-known fundamentalist Jerry Falwell claims.

From this we may understand how both Huntington ,Fukuyama and others came to meet on the soil of the current all-out war against Islam with a group of other well-known members of the American right.

From this we may also understand the lack of signatures from Americans such as Noam Chomsky, Ramsey Clark, Paul Findley others who represent another, more just face of America to a world frightened by the somber countenance of American arrogance. Since the meeting at the “lake of blood.” necessarily excludes them (and necessarily excludes most Americans whom we believe are among the greatest lovers of truth and justice in the world, which has been proven by their great care to learn about
