Although this piece does not quite fit with the theme of this blog--deconstructing capitalism--it does suggest that we may be on the brink of world re-alignment of capitalist powers. Here the author provides some evidence of such a shift in Pakistan and Afghanistan. 

NATO actions have been so disastrous for this Asian region that we may be seeing the approach of a tipping point that could have major repercussions for capitalist rivalries.
