I never huff so I wonder why John piggybacked his
post:
"While our warmongers huff and puff, there are,
fortunately, people doing more serious thinking
about what national and global security really
require. Here is an example, summarized in a piece
I wrote for bestoftheblogs.com"
[what follows are some of John's really good
recommendations for port security].
Onto my comment that I saw [retired petroleum expert, now lecturer Deffeyes']
presentation last year at the 92nd Street Y here in Happy Town. It's one reason why I suggested that this is the Golden Age of Multiculturalism and that nations will reassert themselves as jet fuel skyrockets and international travel slows to a trickle. As the chances of soft landing recede, global corporations will have to decide on a base for their power, which is less likely to be those countries with dictatorial central governments (like China) and histories of strong federal regulation of industry (like France). Therefore it seems likely that nations will attempt to undo their global commitments.
