Politics & Government - 15 September 2007

Okay, I know that the UK has different regions: Wales, N.Ireland, England, Scotland, and some other unknown Islands. I was wondering are all those people called "British" or is the word British only reserved for people who are in the England region? Why does Scotland have different laws and ways of doing things than in other places if they are the same country? Or are all these countries within a country? Should these countries seek independence?

Pro-Israel lobbyists criticize Bush on Iran
Question response to nuclear program
By Dafna Linzer, Washington Post | December 26, 2005

"
....WASHINGTON -- After years of unwavering support for the Bush administration, the powerful pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC has begun to sharply criticize the White House over its handling of Iran's nuclear program.

At issue for AIPAC is Bush's decision last month to hold off on pushing to report Iran's nuclear case to the UN Security Council. The president and Israel have favored reporting it for the past two years. But with little support from other key US allies, Bush reversed course and endorsed a Russian offer that would allow Iran to conduct some, but not all, the nuclear work it says it needs for an indigenous nuclear energy program...."

Should we therefore implement a government policy to provide 'Universal Afterlife Care' to the uninsured?

I have seen many comments that attack Bush (or Blair) as if he has absolute power, like the rulers of some other countries, rather than him being the temporary president of a republic with a freely elected, representive government involving a seperation of powers. Are these critics simply playing the childish game 'If I were king'?

This is serious. Personal annotations not needed. Think of if I asked what were the first three things that come to mind if I say Germany - most would say beer, brauts, and Nazis or something of that nature. French - cheese, wine, eiffel tower. So what three things come to mind when you think of Iran?

We know how patriotic George W Bush is, as are most Americans - but, the 2nd paragraph of the American Declaration of Independence states - QUOTE:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. UNQUOTE

Did he taken the words "ANY FORM OF GOVERNMENT BECOMES DESTRUCTIVE...." literally for invading Iraq in 2003?

I merely offer this to the public before his lawyers do later...;-)

I'm curious to know that if by law, I would suffer any consequences for traveling with my son out of state (not out of the country!) Without his father's written consent?
The father and I are not married, nor living together, but he has signed the Paternity Rights form when our child was born.

Would I run into any trouble if I were to travel with my son?
BTW, he's 3 months old.

Thanks!

Maggie Thatcher joined Gordon Brown at No.10 last week at his request... in return for an invite she extended to him years ago to visit No. 10

Knowing that QUOTE ""That's all we politicians are good for... photographs," the prime minister (aka Tony Bliar(sic) repeated a couple of times." UNQUOTE http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/6166242.stm

Do you think Gordon Brown had an ulterior motive in instigating such a photocall?

Has his "courtesy" un-nerved the David Cameron in the lead-up to the forth-coming General Election?

They say a photograph paints a thousand words.. let's narrow it down to 29 - common courtesy or political ploy
