I'm an Australian living in Melbourne after spending the last 15 years living in the Netherlands, Singapore, Jakarta and Sydney. This is the "personal" section, with articles covering my opinion, my experiences here and there, and my interests, which cover IT, reconciliation, and a little bit of economics, politics and linguistics.

From the New York Times, August 1 2008: Further underscoring the tension between Pakistan and its Western allies, Britain’s senior military officer said in Washington on Thursday that an American and British program to help train Pakistan’s Frontier Corps in the tribal areas had been delayed while Pakistan’s military and civilian officials sorted out details about the program’s goals.Britain and the United States had each offered to send about two dozen military trainers to Pakistan later this summer to train Pakistani Army officers who in turn would instruct the Frontier Corps paramilitary forces. But the British officer, Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup , said the program had been temporarily delayed. “We don’t yet have a firm start date,” he told a small group of reporters. “We’re ready to go.” |
