No. You're just making shit up.
Let me remind you of what you wrote in your post:
It seemed to me that you were saying that western leaders were addressing the wrong thing ("the front end, that bit they can see") and that you were therefore suggesting they should be focussing on "unchanging core beliefs".
But if that was not your point, what point were you trying to make?
