As a result, strengthening state institutions was too often seen in the West as communist subterfuge, while the Soviet bloc viewed the slightest notion of individual freedom and responsibility as a stalking horse for capitalist counter revolution.

It is also why there exists an organic connection of India to Central Asia, the key to that link lying in the Himalayas, which is where the India China rivalry is currently focused. Fortunately, at least for the present, this rivalry is far less emotional than India Pakistan relations, having not been born of historical grievances.

If Franco German rivalry shaped the era between 1870 and 1920, it was the conflict with Russia that defined the next 70 years. That conflict was forgotten for two decades after the end of the Cold War, because Russia s internal travails and Germany s desire to demonstrate its post unification harmlessness kept both powers from flexing their muscles.

More ominous were the statements and challenges to the Palestinian Authority emanating from Hamas prior to the confrontation between the militant group and the Palestinian Authority on 14 and 15 July.

The attack on the Cheonan may have been particularly useful in cementing the regime s hold on the military, which felt disgraced by North Korea s inept performance in a confrontation with the South Korean navy near the Northern Limit Line in the West Sea in November 2009. But, compared to the more fundamental factors discussed above, I believe that this is probably a secondary motive for the attack on the Cheonan.

Thirty years later, our world is not one in which the governments in Moscow or Washington are likely to hurl swarms of nuclear missiles at each other (if it ever was). Nor is it a world in which China or the US would conceivably ever intentionally start a nuclear war against the other.
