| #14 I still want to know what happens when the demographics turn so much China's way in Siberia that attaching Siberia to China becomes a natural. |

| #13 I understand the Thais can be pretty rough bastards as well. |

| #12 Fine. Japan and the Aussies offer plenty of guts technology and firepower. Add the Indian Navy and we're set. |

| #10 Phase II now. Focus like the proverbial laser beam on the threat to the east. We're currently spending twice as much dilpomatic bandwidth (overall staff, resources, travel, time and attention) on Europe as on Asia. Should be the other way round. |

| #9 Beijing, however, claims its economic zone goes beyond that boundary, closer to Japan. Bullshit. Split it right down the middle. Fair is fair. |

| #5 Agreed .com the next 100 years will be a Pacific Century. Unlike Europe we have a Pacific coast. |

| #4 Hmmm... There's solid food for thought in there and, indeed, the next century will feature the Pacific and, possibly, South America. |

| #3 Time for Condi to start lining up a new alliance for a new century: US and Japan + Australia + Singapore + SKor and maybe even India. Serious technology and serious warriors. This, not NATO, should be our principal focus now. |

| #2 I don't see this doing much. I think China will bitch and moan but they'll go ahead and let Japan do all the hard work of trying to find oil/gas. Once Japan does find the deposits, a whole new game starts. Thats when I'll get the pop corn. |
