		<description><![CDATA[Those of us who are cultural-diversity followers continue to be intrigued by the global verbal battle going on between the conservatives on both sides of the “which-culture-is-superior”topic. In the West, the Berlusconi followers continue to rant and rave about the superiority of Western Civilization.
