Strabane: Encyclopedia II - Northern Ireland - Symbols

Today, Northern Ireland comprises a diverse patchwork of communities, whose national loyalties are represented in some areas by flags flown from lamp posts. The Union Flag and former Flag of Northern Ireland therefore appear in some loyalist areas, with the Irish national flag, the tricolour appearing in some republican areas. Even kerbstones in some areas are painted red-white-blue or green-white-orange, depending on whether local people express unionist/lo ...

Strabane: Encyclopedia II - Northern Ireland - Demographics and politics

A majority of the present-day population (59%, according to a 2004 survey) wish to remain part of the United Kingdom, but a significant minority (22%) want to see a united Ireland. It is common to refer to the majority "community" as Unionists and the minority "community" as Nationalists, though there are many who hold a position on the border that is at odds with the label of their "community" or reject these labels completely. The make-up of the Northern Ireland Assembly reflects these divisions within the population. Of the 108 members, 5 ...

Strabane: Encyclopedia II - Belfast - Media

Belfast is the home of The News Letter, the oldest weekly newspaper in the world still in publication. Other main newspapers include The Irish News, the evening newspaper Belfast Telegraph and recently, the Daily Ireland newspaper, while there is also an Irish language weekly newspaper called Lá (or "day"). The current affairs magazine Fortnight (published, ironically, on a monthly basis) offers commentary from a left of centre but non-party-political stance. The city is also the headquarters of BBC Northern Ireland, the ITV station UTV and the commercial radio stati ...

Strabane: Encyclopedia II - Governments' positions pre-2003 invasion of Iraq - Background

In 2002, the United States began to campaign for the overthrow of Iraq's dictatorial president, Saddam Hussein. The United States, under the administration of George W. Bush, argued that Saddam Hussein was a threat to global peace, a vicious tyrant, and a sponsor of international terrorism.

Some nations that were allies of the United States during the Gulf War were either opposed to the second Iraq war or were reluctant to help with it. Prior to the war, several countries called on the US to wait for the weapons inspectors to complete their investigations. However, the US and its allies maintained that reasonable patience had been given to Saddam and that it was clear that he was not willing to cooperate with the inspectors, as he beat around the bush whenever the weapons of mass destruction issue came up. This, if not the fact ...

Analysis of the count reveals the complexities in world diplomacy. Some national governments publicly denounced the invasion plan while at the same time accepting U.S. aid earmarked for the war, or providing to the war effort troops, fueling stations, military support, and/or airspace. Some national governments provided only a semblance of support. Some nations originally on the White House list disavowed membership in the "coalition". Furthermore, significant opposition to the war exists in segments of the populations and Parliaments ...

Strabane: Encyclopedia II - Woodrow Wilson - Versailles 1919

After the Great War, Wilson participated in negotiations with the stated aim of assuring statehood for formerly oppressed nations and an equitable peace. On January 8, 1918, Wilson made his famous Fourteen Points address, introducing the idea of a League of Nations, an organization with a stated goal of helping preserve territorial integrity and political independence among large and small nations alike.

Strabane: Encyclopedia II - Woodrow Wilson - War Policy

Wilsons foreign policy is perhaps best described in a quote by himself made in 1907: "Since trade ignores national boundaries and the manufacturer insists on having the world as a market, the law of his nation must follow him, and the doors of the nations which are closed against him must be battered down. Concessions obtained by financiers must be safeguarded by ministers of state, even if the soverignty of unwilling nations be outraged in the process. Colonies must be obtained or planted, in order that no useful corner of the world may be overloo ...

Strabane: Encyclopedia II - Sinn Féin - Modern Sinn Féin

The largest of the modern-day Sinn Féin parties, also referred to as Provisional Sinn Féin, is the only political party to have seats in the parliaments of both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Sinn Féin is the largest group in the Republican wing of Irish nationalism and is closely associated with the demobilized Provisional IRA. The question of whether Sinn Fein is in fact the political wing of the provisional IRA remains disputed. Both organisations advocate a United Ireland and avowedly socialist values with a nationalist ...
