The Arab world is in turmoil - hell we have to find some way to ensure that all that oil comes our way so we destabilise it. Doing the same thing to that part of the world that they did to Africa. What's new....
China is the new master. Yes it has it's own troubles too, but it is the only one that is financially solvent. And that means it has power - whether we like it or not.

Gee, all that conventional wisdom. The fact that you have presented what is conventionally held by most ill informed people marks you out as not a deep thinker. Nothing will turn out as you predict. Nostradamus you are not. Turn off the computer, get off the internet and read something that will broaden your mind. You might start with Plato. The world is not really a conspiracy mill.
