Thomas Barnett gets around.

Gave my last of three talks in Alaska last night

It was at Fairbanks, at the university.

After flying up Friday morning from Anchorage on Alaska, I spent rest of day having great lunch with senior academics (former Vietnam SOF and former Naval submariner), then working out, then going two hours with host Mike Sfraga's geography seminar class, which read PNM and had a lot of good questions. Talking it through with the students, I realized--yet again--how crucial it was for me to finish and complete PNM with BFA. Everything that was missing in PNM gets explained in Blueprint.

Talk last night was to about 250 in a big, beautiful auditorium. I went about 110 on the brief and then did a lengthy Q&A that I enjoyed a lot.

Then I signed books outside the hall. Then a cocktail with a small group of university leaders and two of their kids. Then to bed at 0030 to get up at 0430 and begin the long march home.

People are very nice up here and very appreciative of your making the trip, so I was very glad I came.

I look forward to further dialogue with locals on what Enterra can do on port security in places like Anchorage. I think Alaska has a huge amount of future economic potential in this globalizing world, and I'd love to be part of making that happen.
