I am not suggesting that we stop it... I am asking for a 'time out' where we reflect on the analysis - we consider it, we compare and contrast with other reports... and from there we begin to think of potential answers and possible solutions - which frankly are sorely lacking...the latest of UK report (mentioning no names) suggests we need a Minister for Security Diplomacy - I mean what the f*** is security diplomacy?

How about we actually hear some concrete plans for sustainable distribution of resources, ways to manage the Asian giants' ascents, the reformation of international bodies to more ably cope with the coming of a multipolar world?
