Question: Jobs in IT Security or Security Analyst/Consulting? I am thinking about switching my Career field and IT Security/Analysis has always intrigued me. Basically any job I could find that allowed me to work on Network/Computer Security or Analysis/Consulting work.
I basically want to be one of the people who helps defend business' or people in general against security threats, mostly those related to computers or networking in general. I could see myself working with a business to defend there network from malicious activity or working for a firm to consult business' on there security needs and obligations to there work force.
The problem is that I don't know much about it, I know that's it's intriguing and I have a lot of computer know-how but I can't find much information on a job description or relavent field of study.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm currently 22 and run my own business with a two year degree but think making a career change now would be a good idea.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I apologize for the long post!
Question: Is it possible for a hacker to intrude into your network and/or PC even with high security? Is it possible to hack a network instead of a computer so that all the data's transfered thru a sniffer (for example)? I have a secured (WPA-PSK) wireless network with 4 other computers using that wireless netwrok. I have a firewall (ZoneAlarm) on the highest settings (stealth mode) on each computer as well. I use firefox, don't open any email attachments and am very specific about whose email I choose to open. How else can any hacker intrude? Would it still be possible to install a prog remotely (without a popular trojan perhaps). Wouldn't I be able to see if some sort of notification if that were to happen? I'm paranoid because I know some people that always end up doing the same things as me because of the activity on my computer (& they're shameless to copy what I do and then tell me about it instead). I think they are tracking what sites I visit, what I type (including forms on an internet browser, what I view, etc. I'd like expert advice from a network security analyst possibly.
So those open ports vulnerable even with a firewall? Would they be outgoing or incoming ports? and are they UDP or TCP? Because I can list ports I want to block on Zone Alarm. But is it even effective blocking through ZA? What's the best way to scan and block those ports?
And what are the following ports for (listed in ZA firewall settings)?
-outgoing NetBIOS (ports 135, 137-139, 445)
-incoming ping (ICMP Echo)
-outgoing ping (ICMP Echo)
-other incoming ICMP
-other outgoing ICMP
-incoming IGMP
-outgoing IGMP
-incoming UDP
-outgoing UDP
-incoming TCP
-outgoing TCP
And which ones should I block without completely comprising functionality?
Question: How do you get into Investment Banking as a Security Analyst? All the available jobs for an IT role in investment banking require previous experience with an investment banking background. How do you get experience if the job requires it in the first place?
Question: Is there a job where you get paid to analyze the physical security of a building even if a system is in place? Ive had quite a bit of training from my previously job on how to break into places. I could easily become a thief, but i morally cant justify stealing, so i was wondering if there is any type of job out there that pays someone to tell business' that already have security systems (such as museums) how a thief could still get in. I know that there is a job called a security analyst for computer wizes. They get paid to hack into business online and tell the company how they did it and how to fix their security. I was just wondering if there is a job like this only for physical security, not network security.

Question: An analyst is evaluating securities in a developing nation where the inflation rate is very high. As a result? the analyst has been warned not to ignore the cross-product between the real rate and inflation. If the real risk free rate is 5% and inflation is expected to be 16% each of the next 4 years, what is the yield on a 4-year security with no maturity, default, or liquidity risk?
Please show the work, I am stuck on this question and can't figure it out. Thank you in advance!

Question: If I work for the government and obtain a security clearance, can I then get a higher paying job elsewhere? I have noticed many jobs looking for Chinese speaking linguists or analysts require a security clearance. Where would one get this clearance usually, the government? If so, do many people work within the government and then leave to get higher paying jobs in the private sector who want that persons security clearance? I am very basic in this and preparing to graduate college. I speak Chinese fluently as a Native English Speaker, so it is the path I would like to use.
Question: Can a person who has completed his CFA get a job in a Private equity/Venture capital fund or a hedge fund? CFA is mostly for those who want to become portfolio/fund managers and securities analysts...they mostly work for i-banks,investment & securities firms as well as pension/mutual funds and insurance co's. i wonder if it is relevant for those who want to get into alternative investments such as hedge funds or into PE/VC
Question: Who responsible for getting IT security organized? security officer,users, analysts, developers, project managers or everyone?

Question: why does yahoo finance block analyst opinion on certain securities? every once in a while when I'm researching a stock, I use yahoo's dreadful finance page. When I go to click "analyst opinion" more often than not, it's greyed-out so it cannot be clicked. Any idea why they would withhold or not assist in the gathering of this type of information?
Question: Do you think Bush's trillion-dollar quagmire in Iraq has distracted us from Al Qaeda and made us less safe? http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070910/ts_nm/sept11_threat_dc;
Bin Laden escaped a U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan after the September 11 attacks, and U.S. intelligence agencies believe al Qaeda has rebuilt in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border area.
U.S. President George W. Bush, who said after the September 11 attacks he wanted bin Laden dead or alive, shifted his focus to Iraq and cast it as the central front in a war on terrorism.
That shift may have played into bin Laden's hands.
"Part of what bin Laden's strategy is, is to bait us into situations where we bleed. Iraq is a godsend for al Qaeda. We took the bait," said security analyst P.J. Crowley of the Center for American Progress, a Democratic-leaning think tank.
The Iraq war made it easier for al Qaeda to kill Americans, through its al Qaeda in Iraq affiliate which is among the groups fighting U.S. forces in Iraq, said Mike German, a former FBI counterterrorism agent.
The war also created a rallying cry at a time bin Laden was crippled by loss of al Qaeda's Afghanistan sanctuary.
"No conflict drains more time, attention, blood, treasure and support for our worldwide counterterrorism efforts than the war in Iraq. It has become a powerful recruiting and training tool for al Qaeda," Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, co-chairmen of the U.S. government's September 11 investigation commission, wrote in a Washington Post opinion piece on Sunday.
Question: can you please summarize this? ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - A leading al Qaeda member, who had a $5 million bounty on his head and is wanted in Spain for possible links to the 2004 bombings, has been handed over to U.S. agents, Pakistani intelligence officers said on Wednesday. Ideologue and strategist Mustafa Setmariam Nasar, also known as Abu Musab al-Suri, a Syrian holding a Spanish passport, was handed over to U.S. agents at least two months ago after being caught in Pakistan last year, they said. "I can confirm that Abu Musab al-Suri is no more under detention in Pakistan," a senior Pakistani intelligence source told Reuters on condition of anonymity. "Suri was handed over to the Americans," he said, adding he was handed over in March this year after repeated demands by the United States. Washington has not confirmed Nasar is in U.S. custody. Two U.S. officials contacted on Wednesday declined to comment. Nasar's arrest has never been officially confirmed by the Pakistani government, usually quick to take credit for any major al Qaeda catch but have remained silent in this case. But Pakistani intelligence officials said Nasar was caught in the southwest city of Quetta on October 31 after a gunbattle. An ex-CIA official who maintains contact with former colleagues in the intelligence community said Nasar was subsequently turned over to U.S. officers. "Because he's considered a potentially valuable source of intelligence, he's in the same category of detainee as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. You won't be seeing him at Gitmo (Guantanamo Bay) or in public," said the former official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. IMPORTANT IDEOLOGUE A security analyst with knowledge of Nasar's case believes he is being held in an undisclosed Middle East country along with other high value al Qaeda prisoners like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the brains behind the September 11, 2001, attacks. "He's the most important ideologue in U.S. control and he's of exceptional importance to a number of countries whose security agencies would like access to him for questioning," said Rohan Gunaratna, an analyst at the Institute of Defense and Strategic Studies in Singapore. Nasar is believed to have been particularly influential among North African groups. Other analysts believe Nasar may have been a strategic thinker for al Qaeda, but not a pivotal player. "It sounds like he is a post-September 11 thinker on what direction the movement should take. I am not convinced that he is a kingpin or can order an attack or direct assets to an attack," said Ken Katzman, a terrorism expert at the Congressional Research Service, the in-house think tank of the U.S. Congress in Washington. Nasar's exhaustive treatise "Call to Global Islamic Resistance" is regarded by some experts as one of the seminal texts on global "jihad," which means holy war in this context. It was posted on the Internet in the last couple of years. The red-haired Syrian, born in 1958, was the most prolific writer among four Muslim scholars credited by analysts with popularizing the global cause of militant Islam in recent years. Of the other three Mohammed al-Maqdisi, reportedly a mentor of al Qaeda's leader in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, is in a Jordanian jail, while Abu Qatada al-Falastini and Abu Hamza al-Masri are both in British custody. Nasar fled Syria in the 1980s and married a Spanish woman through whom he gained Spanish citizenship. By the mid-1990s, by then based in London, he had become part of the al Qaeda network, according to the Rewards for Justice entry. He joined Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan in the late 1990s before striking out on his own to form new Islamist groups, but returned to fight in Afghanistan after the September 11 attacks. Since then he is believed to have been confined to Afghanistan and Pakistan. He has written a strategic paper on bringing Pakistan back to the Islamist militant fold, starting by eliminating President Pervez Musharraf. \(additional reporting by David Morgan and Caroline Drees in Washington)
Question: Do we have1.4 billion to waste to help Mexico battle violent drug gangs, but the money will be largely ? The U.S. government is vowing to spend $1.4 billion to help Mexico battle violent drug gangs, but the money will be largely wasted if authorities here don't cut the ties between police forces and organized crime, security analysts say.
U.S. and Mexican officials on Monday announced the so-called "Merida Initiative," which U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Tony Garza described as "the single most aggressive undertaking ever to combat Mexican drug cartels."
The plan's success, however, may hinge on whether it includes an effective strategy to tackle the corruption that has corroded large parts of Mexico's local and federal police forces.
If it does not, Mexico will simply go from having "a corrupt and badly equipped police force to a corrupt and well-equipped police force," said Jorge Chabat, a Mexican national security analyst and drug expert.
The latest example of how deep-pocketed drug traffickers have warped local law enforcement came earlier this month when agents detained 25 federal police officers in the northern border state of Tamaulipas on suspicion of providing protection for the Gulf drug cartel.
Erubiel Tirado, a national security and diplomacy expert at Mexico City's Iberoamericana University, said the Merida plan's emphasis on equipment and training of Mexican forces sends a clear message.
"There's no confidence in our institutional infrastructure, which is precisely the origin of the crisis we're going through," he said.
President Bush asked Congress on Monday to approve funding for the plan's first $500 million installment. If approved, it would make Mexico the second biggest recipient of U.S. security and anti-drug aid after Colombia, which has received $5 billion under Plan Colombia. Critics of the new plan have dubbed it "Plan Mexico."
Unlike the Colombia initiative, though, the Mexico proposal does not involve putting U.S. troops on Mexican soil. Instead, it would pay for such things as helicopters and surveillance aircraft, "nonintrusive inspection equipment" and drug-sniffing dogs.
Mexican opposition politicians have nevertheless raised concerns that it would violate Mexican sovereignty and pledged to oppose Mexico's plan to spend $7 billion over three years to the fight against organized crime.
Foreign Secretary Patricia Espinosa was to appear before the Senate later Wednesday to provide lawmakers with details on the initiative.http://www.star-telegram.com/448/story/279143.html
Question: What do you think of Obama replacing the term "War on Terror" with...? a War Against Extremism? In his speech, Obama spoke about a War against Extremism. So I guess now Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are the enemy! Or is it Bill Ayers, NCLR, Rev. Wright and Rev. Sharpton?

by Malkah Fleisher
(IsraelNN.com) As part of a new campaign to reach out to the Arab world, newly inaugurated United States President Barack Hussein Obama is dropping the phrase “war on terror” from the U.S. diplomatic lexicon.
The catchphrase, which was introduced to America after the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, is being replaced as Obama’s new administration works on raising the U.S.’s esteem in the Muslim world and distancing itself from George W. Bush’s policies in Iraq and Afghanistan. The phrase “war on terror” has become associated with anti-Islamic or anti-Arab sentiments, according to national security analyst Anthony Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington in statements to the Associated Press.
Instead of fighting a ‘war on terror’, the Obama administration will fight a war against ‘extremism’.
Question: IFFFFF Obama is elected how many times will his supporters allow him to...? blame everything on Bush...how far into his presidency will he be when his supporters blame him for something? Such as, there is no way he will ever get our troops out of Iraq when he says he will, it just wont happen or when he does away with the Bush tax break and you have 8000 dollars less a year and the gas prices will be even higher. Or when he raises your taxes, which he will do. And, every security analyst says its just a matter of time before we are attacked again, it will happen again and when it does is Obama going to invade Pakistan, hes already said he would and they're packing nukes.
Question: Anyone undergo top-security clearance background check? I am currently going through the background check for an entry level position with dept. of homeland security as Program Analyst and answered yes to using illegal substance in past 7 years on that e-QIP form, cause I did when I went to Amsterdam...It was only Marijuana(which is legal there), I said I used it 3-5 times and that was it...But i got a letter saying "Your preliminary cehcks have been completed and developed the following derogatory statements: You answered yes to question 24....since the age of 16 or past 7 years have you illegally used any controled substance....."
And they are saying this "raises concern regarding my suitability for this position" and that I should submit a response detailing my answer....which I will...but..
Should I be worried? Remember, it was only in Amsterdam, only marijuana, which is legal there...
Question: Advice for former teacher looking into computer training.? I am a new stay-at-home-dad after leaving the teaching profession. I was an elementary school teacher who realized it was time for a change. My wife is also a teacher who makes more than I did. While I am home with my sixteen-month-old daughter, I want to pursue computer training at night so I can provide better for my family. I have read many posts that say to find your passion and a related job, but after much soul-searching, I don' t have any big passions other than being passionate about wanting to be a good provider. I do spend a lot of time in front of the computer, have created several simple web pages, and was always a "go to" person at school when people needed help with computers. I have one friend who is a Systems Analyst with security clearance. He likes what he does but says that it may be easier for me to learn Oracle and become a dba. I also wonder about programming. I'll be 35 this month. I live in the Chicago suburbs. Thanks for any advice.
I forgot to add that I would cease staying home once I got the training and a job.
Question: Isn't WikiLeaks expose a wake up call for India? The international flavour of the week seems to be the WikiLeaks expose of the documents concerning the operations against the Al Queda and its allies in Afghanistan.
The New York Times reported on Sunday, July, 18, 2010, that military field documents included in the leak suggest that Pakistan has been allowing "representatives of its spy service to meet directly with the Taliban in secret strategy sessions to organise networks of militant groups that fight against American soldiers in Afghanistan, and even hatch plots to assassinate Afghan leaders.
What this implies is that, while Washington is blindly paying Pakistan massive amounts of money, the ISI has been functioning against US interests leading to fatalities among the coalition rank and file.
This may have come as a shock to people across the world but Indian security analysts have been consistently voicing their concern about Pakistani duplicity in the unholy drama that is being enacted in Afghanistan. A detailed analysis of politico-strategic postures and actions of various Pakistani governments provides empirical evidence about their close proximity to the Taliban and other terrorist organisations.
India on its part should see the WikiLeaks expose as a reiteration of what is already known about the links that the Pakistani government has with the Taliban and other terrorist organisations operating on its soil. It is very obvious that, Pakistan is not interested in meeting the challenge of the growing fanatic Islamic orthodoxy. India's response has to be in tune with this ground reality.

Question: How can a liberal arts graduate become a computer systems analyst? I'm about to graduate with a four-year liberal arts degree from a prestigious university, but I would like to pursue a career in IT. Although I have some experience with Windows, OS X, and Linux, my computer skills are quite limited compared to IT professionals. I believe I would like to eventually become a computer systems analyst or a security expert, and I would like to know how best to break into the field. At the moment I imagine I should get an A+ certification, do some temp work, turn the temp work into a full-time position, and then obtain additional certifications (CCNA, Network+, Security+, etc.) in order to work my way up. In addition, I imagine I should learn at least the basics of programming.
I'm curious how long it would take to achieve my goal and if the path I have sketched out above makes sense to those of you who know the IT field well.
Thanks in advance!
Question: Best PC security suite that wont interfere with gaming? I want a good Security suite that will not cause high latency or lagging in online games such as l4d2, BFBC2 and the like.

Question: how do you know what career is best for you? i'm interested in math, and my math teacher is pushing me towards engineering. i'm interested, but i don't really know what it is. i've researched computer engineering and computer programming & security, but i'm still unsure. i'm still in high school, and i would like to have an idea of what field i want to go in so i can choose courses for the next two years. how do i know what career i want to go in? i've taken quizzes online just because, and they've all said engineering (graphic designer, webmaster, computer security, systems analyst, etc) but i also need a career that i will make a good amount of money, and engineers on average make around $90,000 (i've researched). i don't want to make a decision on a career and then be unsatisfied. i was chosen for a technology camp for girls one summer and we did q basic, flash, and html and i enjoyed it, even though the flash was a little frustrating. q basic was my favorite. please help, i am so confused.
Question: Do you agree with the US military that climate change is a threat to national security? "The changing global climate will pose profound strategic challenges to the United States in coming decades, raising the prospect of military intervention to deal with the effects of violent storms, drought, mass migration and pandemics, military and intelligence analysts say.
Such climate-induced crises could topple governments, feed terrorist movements or destabilize entire regions, say the analysts, experts at the Pentagon and intelligence agencies who for the first time are taking a serious look at the national security implications of climate change.
Recent war games and intelligence studies conclude that over the next 20 to 30 years, vulnerable regions, particularly sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and South and Southeast Asia, will face the prospect of food shortages, water crises and catastrophic flooding driven by climate change that could demand an American humanitarian relief or military response.
An exercise last December at the National Defense University, an educational institute that is overseen by the military, explored the potential impact of a destructive flood in Bangladesh that sent hundreds of thousands of refugees streaming into neighboring India, touching off religious conflict, the spread of contagious diseases and vast damage to infrastructure. “It gets real complicated real quickly,” said Amanda J. Dory, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for strategy, who is working with a Pentagon group assigned to incorporate climate change into national security strategy planning."
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/09/science/earth/09climate.html?th&emc=th
Now, I know the US military and Pentagon are full of liberal socialist tree-hugging communists, but putting their obvious leftist biases aside, do you agree with their conclusions that climate change is a threat to national security?
aceking - nice, taking denial to a new level. Okay, how about this military report from 2 years ago saying the same thing?
http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/apr2007/2007-04-16-05.asp
My mistake, I didn't realize the Military Advisory Board's opinions are no longer valid because its members are retired from the military. Way to disrespect retired military personnel, aceking. Very patriotic.
Question: If housing / construction is down 43.7% from last year, why are news reports saying it is surging? http://content.usatoday.net/dist/custom/gci/InsidePage.aspx?cId=cincinnati&sParam=30357947.story
The title of this story is:
Housing starts surge; wholesale prices edge up
But in the body of the story they say the following:
Building permits are indicating that starts could improve modestly in coming months, but we believe the reprieve will be short-lived," Soleil Securities Group analyst Anna Torma wrote in a research note.
Even with the big increase, construction activity remains 47.3 percent below where it was a year ago. The strength in February was led by a sharp gain in apartment construction, which can be highly volatile from month to month.
One of our local papers is saying that building permits are actually down and it is hurting the remodeling business:
http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20090425/BIZ01/904260336/1055/NEWS
So how is this surging?
Seldon you are making excuses. If the numbers are higher in later quarters, wouldn't that be attributted to actions by the Bush administration?
Question: Having a hard time deciding on a career, need some impartial opinions on the following? I'm stuck between court reporter, network systems administrator/analyst, and network security.
Pros for court reporter - opportunity to work as an independent contractor, synergistic (I enjoy listening to people, I am very observant and detail oriented, and I have a wicked good memory), and it pays well.
Cons - training is 3-4 years and you only recieve an AAS degree, difficult to work and go to school at the same time, may not be able to learn the "language" and type so rapidly
For the network careers Pros - would enjoy the work, pays well, is thought of as being in demand careers for the next decade, could work while attending classes
Cons - would have to earn a boatload of certs post undergrad, difficult field to get into (most adds ask for an insane amount of years worth of experience), and outsourceing.
So, what do you think? Thanks! :-)

Question: What are the best schools for IT? I am seeking a degree in IT and I am trying to find a good school (Preferably totally online, but traditional is okay to). I was going to Indiana University Southeast, but they only offer a certification in IT and a Bachelors in Computer Science. I really want to get my Associates and then work through the Bachelors. I live in Southern Indiana and have 24 credits so far. So my basic courses are done. Also does anyone with experience know the best IT concentration (I.E. Systems Analyst, Systems Security, Networking, Web Programming...)? Any help is much appreciated.
Question: How hard/competetive is it to get an analyst job with NYC's investment banks (i.e Goldman, MS, Lehman...)? Right now I am a finance grad working in the Philadelphia area as a mutual fund accountant. I'm considering making the move to NYC to gain more experience in investment banking, capital markets, securities etc. There doesn't seem to be too many options here in Phila. Is it hard to get an analyst job in this field in NYC? How competetive is it for those trying to get in the top Investment Banks? Goldman, MS, Lehman, Barclay, Merrill, etc? Thanks
Question: Should I select intel analyst for what I want to do outside of the military? I was always set on joining the military throughout my life. I've done all my research, narrowed down the branches, thought I wanted to do aviation before, crossed that off, but now I'm still so eager to do it all that I cannot select an MOS. I recently took my ASVAB and got a 94 on the AFQT. I had my mind deadset on enlisting reserves, getting my degree in college, then going active. I wanted to do something like MP through college so I'd have a combat type MOS and then I wanted to become a ranger once i graduated. (Considered and still considering ROTC halfway through my college while still being enlisted, direct commission out of college, or going to warrant officer school). Problem is now my brother opened my eyes to the whole intel side of the army. This actually really interests me (kinda frustrating since i thought i finally knew what i wanted). The mos 35f intel analyst really caught my eye with the top security clearance, which would really open up an opportunity to a government job if obtained, and all the problem solving and analysis that I enjoy. But this also has the drawback of no real combat type duties which I want. Is there a way I could find a good mix of both intel and infantry type? Or maybe be certified with both specialties? I'd love to work for the CIA as either an intel analyst or agent or the NSA as just an analyst. Becoming a ranger or sf is still something I Want to do. But the intel side is really tugging at my side to see what it has to offer. I know these are high aspirations but I know that I can perform with these duties and will try harder than anyone. So please no bashing. Hypothetically speaking "how would one be able to do these things?"
Will the TS security clearance go away though if I switch from intel to infantry? Then what would be the odds of being able to get into the ranger regiment or sf after serving 4 years as a reserve intel analyst rather than at least a reserve mp?
Question: Any Army MOS 35F (intel analyst) out there? What's it like? Hello,
I'm in the process of enlisting in the Army Reserve, I go to MEPS in a week. I'm in my 3rd year of college and plan to go to OCS after I graduate. I'm enlisting as a Pfc in MOS 35F, and I'm aware that it'll take some (a lot?) of time for my security clearance to process. My question is, what does a fresh enlistee do in a Reserve Intel unit before basic training, and again before my security clearance clears?
Question: what do you think of China Security & Surveillance (CSR)? the financial statement is good, the price of the stock is cheap, the chart look good, analyst just upgrade to stock from performing to outpreforming which it good, and the company revenue expect to raise of 830 million to 850million this year from 604 million.
Question: Any ideas for a start up company that will not conflict with the police agency I work for? I have five years as a crime analyst, a criminal justice BA, ten years of health insurance sales and some architecture college courses. The catch is I cannot leave my police agency job until the self employment business grows. I cannot do any insurance investigation, or security based businesses as it is a conflict of interest with work
Question: Buying a house, only makes $50k with good credit? I live in Washington D.C with my parents right now. I am 24 years old, with good credit and make $50k a year. I am planning on buying a house in Frisco, TX. The houses I am looking at are between $120K - 160K. I don't have any other expenses besides my cellphone. My parents are not asking me to pay any bills so that I save up to buy the house. I have so far saved $20K.
After buying the house. I want to fix it up nicely while I am looking for a job and still working in DC. I will not move the same day I buy the house.
Question:
1) do you think I will be able to afford any kind of mortage?
2)Is it only people who make $70K or more that can afford houses?
3)Do you think it would be smart to make until I can make more money before buying a house?
Please tell me what you do think.
Currently, I am looking for a second job. I hope to get it soon. Maybe, as a waiter or a security guard. Right now I am a proposal analyst for a government contracting firm.
Question: Analyst: China building world’s largest navy as U.S. sea power is in 'absolute decline'? Did you know that China could become the world’s leading naval power by 2020? That’s the verdict of military analyst Tony Corn. This may help explain why the U.S. Navy thinks a piece of paper called the U.N. Law of the Sea Treaty provides some sort of protection for American forces on the high seas. It offers no such protection, of course, but it creates the impression that Navy leaders are doing something about our increasing weakness and vulnerability. However, like so many other U.N. treaties, including the 19 anti-terrorism treaties in effect on 9/11, this one offers a false sense of security. It will mask a dramatic decline in our military power.
