    Firstly, a word of appreciation for explaining the concept with remarkable lucidity. I am sure that now at least the planners would get out of their all-time vote-bank focus and concentrate on something that is vital for the interest and development of the nation. In the US, there are any number of think-tanks that analyse and bring out futuristic scenarios concerning potential contenders and adversaries.
