Guardians of the Gulf: A History of America's Expanding Role in the Perian Gulf, 1883-1992
Palmer traces the history of America' s involvement in the Gulf from 19th-century commercial activity to the Gulf War. He argues that the Gulf War was the logical outcome of America's escalating involvement, but that the prosecution of the war reflected US uncertainty in the region. The book shows how once Britain's influence had declined America was compelled by astrategic and economic considerations to fill the power vacuum. It initially exercised ints influence through the the Shah of Iran, but after his fall in 1979 was forced to take a more active and direct involvement to guarantee the survival of friendly states. The Gulf War was the logical out come of this development. However, the fact that the war was fought only to attain limited objectives reflects US reluctance to get too deeply involved in the politics of the region.

The Last Guardians: The Crisis in the RCMP - and Canada
The national police force, which has proudly symbolized Canada around the world for over a century, has been having a few bad decades. From barn-burning to break-ins at 24 Sussex Drive all the way to Airbus, the force has seemed to reel from crisis to crisis.
In 1997, journalist Paul Palango, who had already written about the RCMP in the bestselling Above the Law, set out to take another look at the force for Maclean’s magazine. In the course of the article, entitled “Why the Mounties Can’t Get Their Man,” he quoted Commissioner Philip Murray, who lamented that Canada was heading towards a two-tier system of policing, with private investigative and security services dealing with white-collar crimes, because the public police force no longer has the resources – of time, manpower, or money – to do so. Palango wanted to try to show how and why the RCMP had reached this point, and what the implications might be for society as a whole. This book is the result.
With the blessings of the force, he set out across the country, interviewing highly placed officers – past and present – watching cadets train at the force’s historic Regina headquarters, going on night patrol with constables both in a remote Manitoba community and in suburban Burnaby, B.C., checking out the new drive to community policing – and some of the communities it serves. Members of the RCMP co-operated with him everywhere he went – and talked freely to him.
What Paul Palango found at the end of his journey was a force in crisis, struggling to be all things to all Canadians in a society that is no longer sure what role it wants the federal police to play – but is sure that it wants them to do it on less money. Palango also argues that looking carefully at the RCMP, shaped as a federal institution by all the societal and economic pressures that have swept the country over the years, is an effective way to examine many of the problems that ail Canada after the event of September 11, 2001.

Who Guards the Guardians and How: Democratic Civil-Military Relations

The continued spread of democracy into the twenty-first century has seen two-thirds of the almost two hundred independent countries of the world adopting this model. In these newer democracies, one of the biggest challenges has been to establish the proper balance between the civilian and military sectors. A fundamental question of power must be addressed—who guards the guardians and how?
In this volume of essays, contributors associated with the Center for Civil-Military Relations in Monterey, California, offer firsthand observations about civil-military relations in a broad range of regions including Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe. Despite diversity among the consolidating democracies of the world, their civil-military problems and solutions are similar—soldiers and statesmen must achieve a deeper understanding of one another, and be motivated to interact in a mutually beneficial way. The unifying theme of this collection is the creation and development of the institutions whereby democratically elected civilians achieve and exercise power over those who hold a monopoly on the use of force within a society, while ensuring that the state has sufficient and qualified armed forces to defend itself against internal and external aggressors. Although these essays address a wide variety of institutions and situations, they each stress a necessity for balance between democratic civilian control and military effectiveness.

Open Question: Is it right that a BNP councillor defected to Labour?
Angela Sinfield was a BNP councillor and left as she felt that they were using her for political gain and did little to deal with the problems she wanted addressed.

Was she right, or were the BNP misunderstood?

Open Question: Is it right that the BNP embraces the multi-cultural nature of the United Kingdom?
The BNP has a Jewish councillor http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2008/apr/10/thefarright.race and has tried to get Sharif Abdel Gawad http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2006/apr/08/uk.race to become their councillor in a Bradford ward.
Can this be viewed as proof that the BNP accepts other faiths and cultures as part of the UK?

Open Question: Gordon Brown looks to 1930's America to defeat the recession ?
We read that the Gordon Brown is looking to 1930's America for inspiration on how to defeat the current recession. Brown intends the unemployed to repair schools, create new rail links, build hospitals and repair dams and roads all for their current jobseekers allowance of £47.95 p/w for 16 - 24 and £60.50 p/w. 25 or over. No doubt also like 1930's America, Brown wants to see Hobo's on top of trains looking for work, speakeasy's where you cant get a drink, and 'they shoot horses dont they' style dance halls. Meanwhile Brown has given away £500 Billion of Taxpayers money to the non-stop W...Bankers who still wont lend anyone any money but pay out bumper bonuses to themselves regardless.
Gordon Brown, a man who has lost the plot ? or a man with a 1930's vision ?

Resolved Question: Is Hazel Blears statement about the 'white' working class correct?
"Many white working-class people across the country feel their concerns about the impact of immigration are being ignored, according to the communities and local government secretary, Hazel Blears."
"White working-class people living on estates sometimes just don't feel anyone is listening or speaking up for them," Blears said.

Resolved Question: Tax 'con' hits low paid - why does new labour just show contempt for the low paid?
"Such workers would only receive an extra 10p in their pay packet for every extra £1 they earn. "It's simply not good enough that some of the poorest families in the country face tax rates of over 90%"

Resolved Question: Government credit card introduction U-Turn ?
We read that Browns beleaguered government had intended to force its Loan Shark style 27% APR credit card on the poorest people in the land. But it looks like they are going to start with an introductory rate of only 2% to attract poor people into a cycle of debt before slapping on a higher interest rate.
Would you take out a Brown Nose loan at 2% let alone 27% ! ?
