On top of that you have China and India, bidding fair to become rivals of
the U.S. and EU.

In the 70s the revolts were sometimes Soviet-sponsored.  Re: the Islamic
revolt(s), methinks the term should be plural, and that in some case the
'revolts' are on behalf of feudal political culture.

Clearly not the end of history, that's for sure.

  Comment: I am really surprised by this reply. The whole Islamic world is
in revolt in three continents and, similarly, most of South America is in a
state of political effervescence, especially against US corpos. The war in
Iraq continues to eat US fiscal resources away putting severe downward
pressure on the dollar and interest rates which in turn pulls down job
creation and income generation,etc. Actually, a lot of etcs.

  I have always been convinced that living in Manhattan or Brooklyn produces
a severe case of metropolitan insularity  out of which the rest of the world
is seen in a foggy,cloudy state.
