Blair: Western values must triumph over radical Islam
http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/08/01/mideast.blair/index.html
"It's about modernization within Islam and out of it. It's about whether our value system can be shown to be sufficiently robust, true, principled and appealing that it beats theirs."
"And this is not just about security or military tactics...It's about...showing them what our values at their best stand for..."

A-ha, the old "forced values from the barrel of a gun" stretegy.

An empirical manifesto if I ever heard one.
