"ARE WE entering the age of the autocrat?
It's certainly tempting to think so after watching
Russia's recent clobbering of Georgia. That invasion
clearly marks a new phase in world politics, but it's
a mistake to think that the future belongs to Russian
strongman Vladimir Putin and his fellow despots."

Although i can't say I'm a big fan of Fukuyama's neoconservative position, this philosophical angle on the future i can agree upon. as mentioned earlier, the world looks like it's in for a new sort of conflict this century. And although I'm generally sceptical to such outcomes, I like to think that this is one of the better outcomes.
