Bin Laden thinks it is and if he thinks that, how do you dialogue? Where's the common ground? What do you say after, "Convert or die?" (This is going to be my new favorite phrase.)Villepin's speech in parliament made much of France's leading role in securing a peace agreement in Lebanon backed by the United Nations, which he said had shown the virtues of "listening and dialogue."
"It is the duty of France and Europe to show that the clash of civilizations is not inevitable," he said. "No one retains this wisdom, inherited from our history, as we, French and Europeans, do," he said.
