Astounding

How has this not gotten more coverage?

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization is:

an intergovernmental mutual-security organization which was founded on June 15, 2001 by the leaders of the China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

The Time Magazine article says that Iran may be added to the mix and that some in the U.S. government consider the coalition to be

a retooled Warsaw Pact that could serve to balance NATO.

News? Anyone? Yeah, thought so.
