Aug.8 2008 was an historic day. The opening of the Olympic Games in Beijing (attended by Bush, Putin and 80 heads of state, and viewed by about 3-4 billion people aroung the world) was more than the widely heralded "China's coming out party". Our view is that it symbolized the end of the sole super-power era, and the beginning of the multi-polar world, with China confidently staking out a future claim as first among equals.
This day was also noteworthy for the ignominious attack by the Republic of Georgia, acting as a US proxy, on the separatist province of South Ossetia; analysis of this blatant provocation repulsed by Russia.
