...Barbarian, a 2003 book published only in Russian, he voiced concern that the Christian West was losing its cultural struggle with Islam: "While Muslims diligently adhere to their faith, their traditions and the principle of families with many children, our political leaders are filling our heads with groundless and godless liberalism." More liberal Forbes Russia staffers frequently debated his nationalist views with him, Bershidsky says: "Paul was very pro-Russia, and being a descendant of the old nobility wanted Russia to be a great power. He had a problem with Islam." This has led to speculation that Chechens may have...

...being involved in policy and the travel and so on," Cam says of his father. "But I think ultimately he was frustrated by the bureaucracy and by the policies." He had parted ways with President Eisenhower and his men, who he thought saw things in black and white--the godless communists against everyone else. Richard rejected the notion that the rest of the world either ought to be like us or wanted to be. Some soil may not be hospitable to "American values," he said.

Even more essential are the Indians or, as they are dehumanizingly and incessantly called, "the godless heathen c__ksucker Sioux." Although it's two weeks after Custer's massacre at Little Bighorn, they don't appear, except as a constantly invoked and useful menace. Swearengen's road agents even scalp their victims to make it look like an Indian attack. You can't miss the post...

But the operating assumption at the time was that the Wahabi brand of Sunni radicalism was innately conservative and therefore a natural ally of the U.S. against both the godless communists and the radical Shiites. (Ironically, it was the same hostility to the Mullahs in Tehran that led the Reagan administration to send an emissary to Baghdad - a certain Mr. Rumsfeld - to make nice with Saddam Hussein and offer support against the common foe.) The assumption was half-right...
