Zhuàngzú Zìzhìq?) is a Zhuang autonomous region of the Peoples Republic of China. Its location in southern China, along its border with Vietnam, and mountainous terrain, has made it one of the border frontiers of Chinese civilization. Even into the 20th century it was considered an open, wild territory. The current name "Guang" itself means "expanse", and has been associated with the region since the creation of Guang Prefecture in 226 AD. It was given provincial level status during the Yuan Dynasty and in 1949 was reformed as one of Chinas five minority autonomous regions. The abbreviation of the province is ? (Gui), which comes from the city of Guilin, the former capital, center of much of Guangxis culture, politics, and history, and currently a major city in the autonomous region. Greece Civil Worldclipped by: xiongdy_vipAlmost twenty years later the President of the United States was defending his intervention in Vietnam by pointing to his predecessors success in Greece. Greece was the first major police task which the United States took on in the postwar world One of the most important consequences of the American involvement in Greece in the 1940S was the development of new bureaucracies specializing in military assistance, police administration, and economic aid, committed to an analysis of revolution and a set of responses for dealing with it that would be applied to many different conflicts in the next twenty years. President Truman alluded to the corruption and brutality of the Greek government by conceding that it was "not perfect." the struggle in Greece was part of a global battle between economic systems. he declared that the United States was "the giant of the economic world," with the responsibility for setting "the future pattern of economic relations." Bush lawyer 05: No worry; courts wont rule on tortureclipped by: masburyclippers remarks: Since 1970, US practice has been to investigate, cool off, forget about, and repeat torture episodes. 46,000 S. Vietnamese were executed - no one knows how many were tortured; no one was ever punished. If you read the May 2005 memo by the head of the Office of Legal Counsel, Steven Bradbury, he says, ?Look, I can?t assure you that waterboarding is not torture. You know, the courts may find that it is torture. But don?t worry about it. Because you know what? The courts aren?t going to rule on this.? in 1970, the House and Senate of the United States discovered that the Phoenix Program had been engaged in systematic torture, that they had killed through extraditial executions 46,000 South Vietnamese. That?s about the same number of American combat deaths in South Vietnam. Nothing was done. There was no punishment, and the policy of torture continued. What?s happened since really 1970 because we?ve been engaged in torture continuously throughout this entire period, is that Congress and the press will conduct a major exposé of torture; the public will be momentarily aroused; there will be no sustained investigation, no prosecution, no penalty; the practice will continue Tags: torture Für die Inhalte dieses Feeds ist alleine der jeweilige Autor/Anbieter verantwortlich.
