I totally agree. Wipe the whole area. Every trick has been tried on that area, and nothing seems to work on them. \n\nTo borrow religious people;" the area is cursed, and must be cleaned!"\n\nThere was this one newsreport that mentioned, that "Iraq-savingtrip" has lasted already as long period as the "Europe-savingtrip" from nazis in the 40`s. and; Europe Was saved, in the middle east its impossible to tell who should be saved there anymore. All of them in the area you mentioned, appear to be death freaks\n\nI just hope that the Turkey stays the hell away from EU...

Well a few states here still utilize this ultimate punishment, I guess it should be a national issue and should probably be brought to a vote.\n\nUnless Parliament can actually discuss this matter calmly, rationally, and use public opinion to guide their final decision.\n\nCould this happen? I don't know...

According to whom? Based on what criteria?\n\nFor what?\n\nYour question is really open ended and impossible to answer.

How what works, the world? I doubt it although they may have united to become the EU there is no sense of common history or common cause. I don't see too much cooperation in the EU.

Who do you think paid for it?

Definitely not. The country as a whole was not culpable for WWI, and for that matter, the leaders of Germany were not culpable. The whole thing could have been solved diplomatically, but as soon as Archduke Ferdinand was killed, Austria demanded certain things, Serbia refused, and there was a cascade of declarations of war. It's absurd to say that Germany was responsible for all of this. At the very least, Britain and France should have mediated the conflict between Austria and Serbia BEFORE it came to declarations of war.\n\nThere's also the fact that the reparations were not about keeping Germany from doing it again, they were about punishment. All they really needed to do after the war was establish monitoring systems to make sure Germany was not rebuilding a military, the one thing they didn't do.

Well in my opinion there is no such procedure.\n\nSometimes a situation may arise that only one nation is against a resolution passed by all other members. This creates a rift in EU and the decision making process is affected. Recently Poland was the only nation against a resolution pending in EU regarding relations with Russia. The overwhelming majority in favour of the resolution seems helpless against the vote of one nation. \nIn this situation how will the EU work.

The reason is that Turkey brought thousands of Turks in Cyprus as settlers. The results has bee for the T/Cypriots to be a minority in the occupied areas of Cyprus. The settlers were given voting rights by the occupation army dilluting the will of the T/cypriots. The Turkish army also gave stolen properties to these settlers when many T/C refugees from the south were given less or nothing. I believe that the T/cypriot dislike the Turks because they share nothing in common culturally.

The "government" in the occupied areas of Cyprus is illegal. The Turkish army is legally responsible of that area. You can take Turkey to the European Court of Human Rights. If you are a foreigner this should be a lesson not to be in the occupied areas of Cyprus in the first place. The area is under military occupation and you should not expect them to have the rule of law.

Croatia will join EU in the next round after it cleans its act up. They've had a few internal political hiccups along the way, but I think they will come out fine. Croatia will have positive economical effects, and I would say tourism will become one of its main industries. Political, will be interesting.. Especially if Serbia decides to apply for EU. Not familiar enough with Barry's theory to comment.

Hmm..\n\nIt could be that turkey still has the death sentece. that is a big no no in the EU.\n\nIt is also the level of treatment that the government meeds out to it's people. Ever heard "Lets play turkish prison"?\n\nIt has a good ways to go. But i do belive that with a little work, and alot of understanding that Turkey will someday be in the EU.

I believe the question is asking whether the official, in his official capacity, should have a voice on whether their own recall should be sent to the voters. In that case, no, as their vote would be a clear conflict of interest and they should have to recuse themselves from any votes on the matter.
