Bingo! This time they got it right.

The real clash of civilizations is not Islam against the West, as wrongly predicted by Professor Bernard Lewis in his Atlantic Monthly piece of 1990. 

It's China versus the U.S. of A.

The mother of all geopolitics is the clash of Chinese state-capitalism with Anglo-American finance-capitalism.

The real foe of the new American Empire is China, and Empires best friend is neither the Crusader nor the Zionist, but the Racist fearing the "yellow danger".

The case for war against Iran, based on Bernhard Lewis ideological obfuscation, hampers U.S. preeminence.

Hu Jintao and 1,3 billion Chinese will be all smiles, if Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and their Neocon buddies continue to exhaust homeland security with their war in the Middle East.  

Meanwhile Iran, India, Pakistan and Mongolia.joined The Shanghai Cooperation Organization SCO,  founded 2001 by China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

And the US State Department pulled China-made Lenovo PCs from secure networks.
