Constructing the Future World Order

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is an intergovernmental international organization founded in Shanghai on 15 June 2001 by six countries: China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Originally formed in 1996 and known as "the Shanghai Five", the group became the SCO in 2001 and added Uzbekistan as a member.

There are some who believe the SCO poses a real threat to US world status. From those on the left, Noam Chomsky : "Worse yet, though the US can intimidate Europe, it cannot intimidate China, which blithely goes its own way, even in Saudi Arabia, the jewel in the crown -- the primary reason why China is considered a leading threat. An independent energy bloc in the Gulf area is likely to link up with the China-based Asian Energy Security Grid and Shanghai Cooperation Council, with Russia (which has its own huge resources) as an integral part, along with the Central Asian states (already members), possibly India. Iran is already associated with them, and a Shi'ite dominated bloc in the Arab states might well go along. All of that would be a nightmare for US planners, and its Western allies."

And those on the right, Jinsa : "Perhaps emboldened by America’s troubled policy in Iraq, Kazakh Foreign Minister Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev declared last week, "The SCO has all prerequisites to become a structure of the future world order." His deputy read Tokayev’s comments at the opening of the SCO’s fifth anniversary conference, December 1 in Almaty, Kazakhstan. "What Russia and China are doing, in places such as Sudan and Iran, where they are making common cause to block the liberal West’s efforts to impose sanctions, and in Belarus, Uzbekistan, Zimbabwe and Burma, where they have embraced various dictators in defiance of the global liberal consensus," Robert Kagan, a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, observed in the Washington Times, April 30, 2006. Kagan further questioned whether the United States should expect anything else from "in informal league of dictators … sustained and protected by Moscow and Beijing as best as they can."

Questions. How/why is it that Shiites, who are only 15 percent of the 1 billion+ Muslims worldwide, have been maneuvered to such a powerful world position?

Who is best served by a Shiite dominated bloc? Shanghai, Russia, etc. So why did US "planners" give Shiites power in Iraq?

Why would the US install a Shiite-led government in Iraq, if it intends to wage war on Shiite brothers in Iran? Why are Iraqi Shiites biting the hand that put them in power?

Who/what is behind the curtain of the future world order?
