All'Onu born axis of Bric new opponent for the U.S.

NEW YORK - Brasilia-Delhi-Moscow-Beijing is a quadrilateral of the new world order, the club of "non-interference", the real novelty of this first week of military action in Libya. Yesterday the UN Security Council their criticism of the no-fly zones have sent a message to the Arab world there is another side, compared with America and its European allies.

Regarded as the president of the post-Atlantic, with a truly global vision for biographical reasons, Barack Obama has already helped design a new reality of international politics. Unfortunately for him, is something that comes without and against the United States, as an alternative to the 'Order of the West.

" They are the BRICs: the initials of Brazil, Russia, India, China. It is a symbol born of years in the world economy and finance, to describe the four major emerging powers (now abundantly emerged). For the first time, Libya is on the economic club has made diplomatic alliance. Prefigures an alternative to the coalition that Obama has painstakingly put together under the hat of NATO.

In April there will be a summit of BRIC to be hosted in China, in the city of Sanya. For the first time at this summit, the four major non-Western will speak not just of trade and finance, energy and currencies, but foreign policy. It is a rupture with serious consequences if the BRIC decide to use its economic leverage in transforming diplomacy.

They sit between two political-military power "historical" with the right of veto in the UN Security Council - Russia and China - but also two new candidates to join as permanent members on the Council when it will be UN reform: India and Brazil. Delhi and Brasilia are the first and the fourth for democracy in the world population.

Have an obvious affinity values with the West, as pointed out by Obama in his just completed trip to Brazil. Dilma Roussef The president, in accepting Obama has proudly claimed the right of his country to join the Security Council with the status of VIP and the right of veto, but did not give an inch on the no-fly zone.

Libya on the club was compact, without distinction. All four new big abstained on Security Council Resolution 1973. And as soon as military operations began, started a volley of criticism. "We risk a humanitarian disaster," is the warning of the Chinese. "I hear a speech by new crusade" has weighed in on Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

The Americans have tried to minimize the critical Russian-Chinese. "Nothing new under the sun", is the first response from Washington. On Moscow's position has been pointed out by bickering between Putin and Medvedev, a prelude to a campaign for the presidency, where Putin will play the nationalist card as anti-Western US Medvedv collects the promise of entering the WTO.

As for China, the Americans have attributed the complaints to "unusual for interference in the internal human rights." In Beijing - this is the analysis of the U.S. - the ruling class lives with nervousness the wave of anti-authoritarian revolutions in the Arab world fears the contagion, so disapproves of the UN intervention in favor of people who rebel against their own regimes.

However, the Chinese language - "this is the third war of the West against the Islamic world, and another war for oil" - has also made inroads in Turkey, a NATO member, whose prime minister in early intervention military has used words very similar to the Chinese. And then there's India, the largest democracy visited by Obama in November, when the U.S.

president strongly supports the "promotion" of Delhi as a permanent member of UN Council. "No one can claim the right to change regimes in other countries," warned Finance Minister and chairman of the House in Delhi. "It should respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Libya," echoed the Indian ambassador to the UN.

The BRIC club makes new converts like South Africa which had supported the no-fly zone but is now associated to criticism about its application. Their bet: that the new structure will emerge from the convulsions of the Muslim world, there is room for an alternative to the embrace of the West.
