[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Australia is a European outpost right next door to Southeast Asia, which happens to be one of the most dynamic (and therefore frightening and unsettling) regions on Earth. Of course they're going to be concerned about what happens there. The last time a nation in that part of the world came into serious power things almost ended with Australia a happy outpost of the East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. This reads like a bit of academic trolling, of course. For one thing, adding states is so boringly passe, not to mention economically and politically undesirable. What is this, 1803? All the points listed that aren't nonsense are already at work. If Australia wants nuclear weapons they will ask and the United States will no doubt be very happy to oblige. It worked for Canada. I don't see where statehood offers anything beyond what's already available via <a href="http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/intdip/usmulti/usmu002.htm">ANZUS</a>. [/QB][/QUOTE]
