The divide between these ways of thinking sometimes seems to be deepening. I didn't know the Obama bow had created a stir, but the message of seeking dialogue between these "communities" or ways of thinking is relevant all the time with every issue that comes up. We are culturally conditioned to find differences rather than agreement. I think Obama has recognized this and tried to find another way just as you have described. There is also his approach to the abortion dispute and his outreach to the Muslim and Arab world. Showing respect and seeking common ground can be major tools in building the bridges.
