This is terrible.  We are supposed to be evangelising our way of life to these people; that's sort of the whole point, right?  If we've lost the will to evangelise our superior civilisation to them, then we are more or less just inviting them to spread their own.  The class of civilisations, after all.  But it's not like we even have a consensus; there are all too many people here who believe that civilisation involves killing babies prior to birth and allow homosexuals to have marriage licenses and lewd parades.
