I have no connection with this mob. But their piece on Australia's role
in SE Asia and relationship with the USA
http://www.stratfor.com/SERVICES/GIU/092799.ASP
was the very best piece of Intell analysis it's been my priviledge to
read for a long time, and although I don't agree with everything they
say in other articles, I just wish I had written this one.

Anyone interested in Strategic Intelligence - and what the world could
look like in the next decade - should have a look at this site.

No, I'm not in the Intelligence Community. No further comment on this. 

ANYWAY, Since we're involved in Future History here, and would like the
Tuffleyverse to "live long and prosper", it would be a good idea to take
a look at what the think-tanks are saying now.	

Oh yes, consider a standard disclaimer sent re "Not the opinions of ADFA
