Slovenian e-Government

rakerman writes "In its October 20th issue the Economist reports from Ljubljana that 'Slovenia may be Europe's most Internetted government', including 'holding most of its cabinet meetings online'. There is some information at the Slovenian e-government site, in particular check out their detailed strategy for e-commerce in public administration." I''ve read the article; very well done.

i do not support violence..

but, the violence in Northern Ireland over the last 25 years was as a direct result of Britains policies in Northern Ireland since the partitioning of Ireland in 1922.

There was institutional discrimination against the catholic community in Northern Ireland, and the govt in England turned a complete blind eye to it. In the 1960s unemployment amongst catholics was at 30 to 40%, while only at 10ish% for protestants. The Police force, business, the institutions of regional government were all dominated by the Protestant/Unionist community in Northern Ireland, and for the most part they used their power to oppress the catholic/nationalist minority. All with a blind eye turned by the UK government in England, or even it's approval.

So some of this oppressed minority people turned to violence. not a solution i would condone, but neither can you condone what went on in Northern Ireland post-WWII in the name of the United Kingdom.

Note that there also were many out of this community who tried peaceful means to change their plight. They'd hold peaceful civil rights marches. And they'd be met and beaten by the RUC, or on one occasion mown down by British paratroopers. (Bloody Sunday Jan 30 1972, Derry, 13 civilians shot dead by the Para's).

NI was a mess, a brutal mess and it produced some brutal people who committed some terrible acts. But the cause of it all was british actions and inaction.

there does seem to be light at the end tunnel now though. they've gotten it down to politicians throwing words at each other, rather than bombs.

anyway...
