Nb. Perhaps the most
significant essay for the future of East-West relations in the 21st
century is that by Robert D. Kaplan, "How We Would Fight China" in Atlantic
Monthly, June 2005. See http://altinfo.blogspot.com/search/label/China.
If the mentality and 'vision' behind this article are allowed to prevail in
foreign affairs, the outlook for the world will be bleak indeed. Those of good
will in both East and West who would wish to prevent Kaplan's demonic vision
from becoming reality need to ask themselves how mankind can avoid the deadly
logic of the mind games in which the Kaplans of this world would imprison us.
