 Essays 2001, Huntington Revisited: Is Conservative Realism....
Samuel Huntington has provided perhaps the classical exposition of this outlook in his The Soldier and the State: The Theory and Politics of Civil-Military Relations Furthermore, Huntington has developed what appears to be a powerful argument as to why conservative realism should be considered a fundamental component of the professional ethic of the military officer.
Huntington believes that this professional military ethic is unchanging, assuming that the inherent nature of the military function remains static.
Huntington believed those implications were largely negative, as they meant the increasing influence of the military in society and the concomitant exposure of the military to civilian and political views.

 Why I Am Not A Conservative   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Of course, as Harvard professor Samuel Huntington notes, no set of institutions and laws in society can ever perfectly reflect natural law.
The best they can do is attempt to achieve a perfect reflection and thus, natural law, as identified and explained through human observation and reason, serves as a yardstick ideal against which existing policies and laws should be measured.

In his haste to dismiss Samuel Huntington's thesis of a multi-polar, multi-civilisational world after the cold war, Edward Said ("We all swim together", 15 October) rails against the 1993 article in Foreign Affairs called "The Clash of Civilisations?".
In fact, the central tenet of the book is that we are indeed all swimming together and that, in order to avoid future intercivilisational wars, the west needs both to rid itself of the notion that western culture is universal, and therefore superior, and to stop intervening in conflicts in other civilisations.
