And what the future holds ....

'If history repeats itself and unexpected always happens then incapable must man be of learning from his mistakes?' - G.B. Shaw


Personally, I believe that mankind will have to go through three very important stages (which combines the thoughts of both Huntington and Kaplan). Firstly, the clash of civilizations will continue to take place, perhaps not with the magnitude that Huntington described, but still it will gain on popularity and intensity. This unfortunately will create a very fertile ground for the coming anarchy. Will we go that extra mile and let anarchy take over the world? It's seems highly unlikely at the moment, but one can never know what the future holds. The destruction of environment has picked up speed, the number of illiberal democracies is growing, resources are becoming more limited, tensions will grow, and man will again find himself at the very edge of the destruction of the world, just like on October 15, 1962 when Cuban Crisis began.

And it is only then that man will realize that history repeats itself and stop the madness that became on him and the world. But that will not be the 'end of history' (going back to Fukuyama) because I have faith that a new ideology will start to govern he world far better than the previous one because man will have to start all over again.

Will it be too late? .....
