"while people are quite happy and quick to pursue Carl Von Clauswitz's dictum, "an extension of foreign policy/politics"."
Doesn't apply to 21st century's globalized and interconnected world. I would love to read Jingle's thesis on foreign policy someday...
Hmm.... I suppose I subscribe to "What is not mine, I do not take. What is mine, I defend." Does that count towards foreign policy or just hot air.... Never thought I will make it to become minister, so did not really think about foreign policy

Not that I have been there, but I would assume (from reading) fishing is very possible during high tide. Therefore, our lighthouse keepers should be quite well fed... with fish, at least.

From what I heard, water around the island is very choppy. It is subject to frequent inclement weather... hardly a place where one would consider developing a resort.
By itself, the island has very little to offer to anyone. However, it is in a strategic location mainly for the shipping lanes.

with global warming and melting polar ice cap not sure what will be the impact
-
as a local..i hope sg will win...but subjected to critisms fr our neighbour

I wonder if it would be a good place to fish given the current. -
marine fishes around the rocks only

One more day to go so how about we list the names of people who think Pedra Branca will officially become Pulau Batu Puteh on a Maritime chart?
As much as I want Singapore to win I strongly believe We can't screw Malaysia out of this one.

One more day...will there be a live telecast from The Hague?
