Government facts, facts about government

By portraying bogus intelligence as fact and by inventing a relationship between al-qaeda and Saddam Hussein, Cheney, Bush (& Rumsfeld) led the charge into Iraq.

The Carlyle Group is a privately-owned equity firm organized and run by former members of the Reagan and Bush Sr. administrations. Carlyle could lay claim to only a meager $12 billion in funds in December of 2001. Carlyle's profits skyrocketed after the invasion and occupation of Iraq. Currently, Carlyle manages more than $44 billion in 42 different investment funds. http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/111406R.shtml

Bonds: A certificate of debt issued by a government or corporation guaranteeing payment of the original investment plus interest by a specified future date.

Interesting facts about Japan

In 1947 Japan's constitutional democracy took effect. It was based on the practice and advocacy peace.

The emperor of Japan is officially know as "the symbol of the state and unity of the people." The emperor it was once taught in Japan, was of divine origin, a fact that has been debated.

The "separations of power" principle dividing the government into legislative, judicial, and executive branches limits the emperor's actual power. The emperor of Japan does appoint the prime minister and chief judge of the supreme court.
