Building the "Quad" as the Basis for an "Asian NATO" Is a Dangerous Imperial Fantasy
By Harley SchlangerOn this day in history, as presented dramatically by William Shakespeare, those aspiring would-be emperors would do well to heed the warning given to Caesar shortly after he was crowned, "Beware the Ides of March"!

The "Quad", which includes Japan, India and Australia, besides the U.S., is being mobilized for such a plan. Yet, as a leading U.S. military official admitted, in describing recent war games against China, the trend is "not just that we were losing, but we were losing faster." Before launching new military provocations which could well be a flight forward into war, has anyone thought of trying DIPLOMACY? What is urgently required is LaRouche's Four Power Agreement!
