"Caught between Babel and Disneyland"

This is from a book I read called Jihad vs McWorld. I thought it was interesting and makes a lot of sense.
   "The first senerio rooted in race holds out the frim prospect of a retribalization of large swaths of humankind by war and bloodshed: a threatened balanization of nation-states in which cultue is petted against culture, people against people, tribe against tribe, a Jihadin the name if a hundred narrowly conceived faiths against every kind of interdependence, every kind of atifical social cooperation and mutality: against technology, agianst pop culture, and against intergrated markets; against modernit itself as well as the future in which midernity issues.  The second paints that future in shimmering pastels, a busy portrait of onrushing econimic, technological, and ecological forces that demand intergration and uniformity and fast food-MTV, Macintosh, and McDolnald's-pressing nations into one homogenous global theme park, one McWorld tied together by communications, information, entertainment, and commerce.  Caught between Babel and Disneyland, the planet is falling precipitously apart and coming reluctantly together at the very same moment.
    Some stunned observers noticed only Babel, complaining about the thousands newly sundered "peoples" who preferto address their neighbors with sniper rifles and mortars; others-zealots in Disneyland-seize on futurological platitudes and the promis of virtuality, exclaiming "It's a mall world after all!"  Both are right, but how can that be?"
