When would they get American VC without American Executives. Fortunately
there is not a critical mass in India or China, otherwise the USA would
matter.

Perhaps some day, but as long as we have $$$ We'll be a power.

Perhaps pure CS isn't an answer. There are many companies like seimens
that are paying $$$ to chemists who can program.

My friend had an interesting article, as soon as he scans it I'll post it
here. It talks about how the demand for programmers will raise as the baby
boomers start to retire. I'm not sure about this, but it's at least an
idea.

Cheers,
