Government - November 2006

I know I should know all this but, simply, what is the difference between the two? My parents were telling me that a good portion of northerners were one and a good percentage of southerners were one. Like they believe that, we believe this kind of thing. I'm trying to figure out what political party I am, but I just don't know hardly anything about it.
Can someone give me some basic differences about them? For example, like the abortion thing.
It seems like a hot subject because each parties get a little heated up talking about it with each other. I don't understand why America has to be split up on this. I know it's probably entierly impossible for everyone to agree on the same thing though.

The Queen announced that her government intends, in the next year, to introduce yet more laws, and to toughen up existing ones, in order further to control crime. This seems to be at odds with the messages that we're given, year on year, that crime levels (incidence) are falling, and that more criminals are being caught (detection rates) and more severely sentenced than in the past. If the incidence (see every Police Authority's Annual Report over the last several years) truly is falling, and if detection rates (ditto Annual Reports) truly are rising, surely that means the country is, overall, a safer and more secure place tp live? I know that's not most people's perception (including mine), but perhaps our perception is being clouded by the media and governmental propoganda machine that appears, at least to me, to have a mutually vested interest in making us, and keeping us, afraid of shadows so that they can indulge in horror stories, and further erode basic freedoms.

I will confess I have not spent hours reading up on the 'proof' you all have that the US government is responsible for 9/11 but something that never seems to be explained is why the government did not go one step further with this and plant WMD's in Iraq? Seems to me that if this govt. was sophisticated enough to bring down the towers and hijack planes, they would have thought to do this and justify everything they are doing in Iraq.
