Berbers? I'm guessing YOU haven't visited the Near East region. Berbers live in Northern Africa... Some Bedouins live in Israel and the occupied territories, but I'm not sure whether you were refering to them because most of them are mulsim and Palestinians are not hunting them. And I don't know where, for you, do come the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, Jordan and everywhere else.
Mulsim occupation of pieces of Africa and Asia? Do you know the difference between a religion (and the conversion of a people to) and a people (and its occupation of a territory in place of another people)? And what about the christian occupation of (former pagan) Europe if you go this way? Now if you whish to really discuss occupation, we could go on the European people occupying Americas...
And by the way yes, I did visit Israel and a little part of the West Bank.
it was considered worthless wasteland until they developed it into garden.
This is a lie -- Palestinians were of course not living in a "worthless wasteland". Who do you think planted the old olive trees the israeli army is destroying every day in occupied territories?
"A land without a people, for the people without a land" as they said... The very problem is that this land had a people.
There are other techniques, for example from Dolby (for digital cinema), based on the same idea as red/green glasses but extended to the full color spectrum.
We see colors thanks to the S, M and L (for short, medium and long wave) cones in our eyes: if only M-cones detect light, our brain understand it's green; if only L-cones detect light, it's red; if both M- and L-cones detect light, it's yellow. TV and monitors use this to simulate the visible spectrum with only three colors red, green and blue: red and green together are detected by M- and L-cones, therefore taken by our brain as yellow.
Dolby's system displays one view in RGB and the other in complementary colors (more or less CMY, to make it simple). Glasses are simple color filters, more complex than red/green ones, but more comfortable than polarized ones.
Well, according to your quote, Nader doesn't say that they should go back home. He says that they should not come. Or, more precisely, that the US companies should not attract them.
That's not the same : Nader is talking about US companies economical interest versus third world countries one. He's not talking here about individual human rights -- which include the right to go and settle where one whishes (Universal Human Rights Declaration, New York, december 1948)
Actually it was not an election but a referendum, in order to change the Constitution so that the President is now elected every 5 years instead of 7 previously.
Usually in France the no-show rate is much lower than 70%. This vote was special :
- Referenda are very rare in France and only for changing the Constitution, while people would prefer being consulted for decisions that impact their every day life ;
- If the Constitution had to be changed, people would prefer more useful changes, such as allowing resident aliens to vote, or going to federalism ;
- Nobody really understand the purpose of this change (will it give more power to the President, or less power, now that he is elected with the same frequency as the parliament ?) ;
- Except for the extreme right wing, which was against it, all major parties were in favor of this change, so what was the challenge ?

Only one?
And, as a matter of fact, in french we simply say "frites".
(Not that I want to "fix that for you")

And I support the above reply from Idiomatick.
President Of The United States.
I'm French and I know that!
Whatever the system, it will always be possible to win with A SINGLE VOTE.
As far as I can understand the US system (I am from Europe), the bigger problem is that one can win with LESS citizen votes than the other.
