"Almost invariably Western leaders claim they are acting on behalf of "the world community." One minor lapse occured during the run-up to the [First] Gulf War. In an interview on "Good Morning America," Dec. 21, 1990, British Prime Minister John Major referred to the actions "the West" was taking against Saddam Hussein. He quickly corrected himself and subsequently referred to "the world community." He was, however, right when he erred." --Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilizations?
