ABOUT GEORGE GALLOWAY:
Few contemporary politicians have attracted as much controversy as George Galloway. A Labour MP from 1987 to 2003, he was an outspoken critic of the policies of Tony Blair and New Labour, in particular the decision to invade Iraq. Fiery comments such as ""the best thing British troops can do is to refuse to obey illegal orders"" saw Galloway expelled from the Labour Party. But Galloway returned to the political fray by founding the Respect Party and winning Bethnal Green and Bow in the 2005 General Election. Mr Galloway re-entered Parliament in this March as MP for Bradford West and has recently provoked controversy and criticism with his comments on the rape charges against Wikileaks' Julian Assange.

Iraq had the highest literacy rate and education performance in the region prior to the US invasion. Colonialism didn’t completely subside up until the 60s. If it wasn’t for the west’s deliberate milking of resources, purposeful and strategic divnisioning of the people of the east and racist and oriental attitudes maybe they would be living decent lives. Take your ignorance and stupidity some place else. There’s no room for fallacious, idiotic people here.

    Darraaz Shahbaaz There are much more people in the West that can think with their own heads than you think. But George Galloway is one of the rare politicians who defends his truth in public, no matter what. In Germany, there was a very well known reporter and writer, Peter Scholl-Latour, who through his entire life has tried to educate the West about the world and people in the Islamic world. You have to live in a country and speak its people`s language to be able to know at least a little bit more about their culture and ways of thinking. And since there are so many Islamic countries that don`t even try to understand each other, it is nearly impossible for the West to understand their world. But one thing is true for every people on this planet: When we are sad, we cry, when we are happy, we laugh, all mothers love their children and we don`t want our loved ones to suffer. No normal human being wants war and when we get cut, we bleed red blood. What else do we need to have in common in order to live together in peace?

    Is democracy automatically the best option for all people at all times? Democracy in its pure form is just the rule of the majority. If the majority is violent fanatic or plain evil - then democracy would not make them enlightened and liberal - it would just give them power. Hitler of Nazi Germany was democratically elected. Hamas - who wishes world Jihad - was democratically elected. Democracy is just a framework - and without actual values to fill it with it would only cause havoc.

Mao who has killed about 40 to 70 million Chinese - would win elections today if he ran... The majority can make mistakes - and can be tempted to make ethical transgressions. Democracy without checks and balances would only tell you what the majority thinks - which does not turn them into liberal or kind people.

    ***** Maybe the point of democracy is not what it gives - but what it prevents? All other options ("enlightened despotism" - "merit-based aristocracy" - "plutocracy" and so on) - historically do get seriously abusive and even genocidal pretty fast... And even the best-intentioned people often cease to be benevolent when given too much power. They buckle because they can't manage it - because no one is meant to have so much responsibility over others. Even tyrannical CEOs have to obey the democratic vote of their consumers. So democracy is a way to manage public matters in a relatively less harmful way. And mind you - justice requires that those who decide what to do should be those standing to be affected by the results of such actions. And that is the public - smart or dumb. I can agree with you, that to have democracy to bring better results - we need to educate as many people as possible. And let's have each one of us pass a basic relevant exam - so people would have to be better informed, and would realize that voting is not a right, it's a privilege, and an important one. So people would sense the great gift of voting and would be proud to be informed voters. As for the importance of each vote, I differ from you: It doesn't matter what percentage your vote counts for. What matters is that YOU KNOW that you have done and will keep doing your best for what you hold dear. Devotion to true values is much more important than results out there - because where you truly live is not with the polls... You live with your own mind and conscience. The more you do your best for what you hold dear - the more genuine and great your life is - independent of results out there. And the more genuine you are in upholding true values (such as responsibility, justice, caring, compassion, creativity, trust, etc) - the more you may find yourself becoming influential with other people... Each genuine person adds up. Each genuine act adds up. Society is sustained thanks to the great "little people" who answer the call of their conscience and do what is beneficial and right.

Mob rule is, essentially, what is in America and the situation in the Middle East; my way or the high way.

    Self help guidelines From the ground up A Maslow has suggested the following steps: physiological and safety needs, love and belonging, esteem, self actualization. As a 'consumer' of self help I have encountered selective issues; some kind of indication about the trends of a book or video would help: from down to earth, first encounters such as relationships and attachment, the role of gratitude, Spirituality and creativity. An agreed label associated with these steps or a refusal to relate to classifications could eventually be considered when in need of advice Self development offers a wide range of trends and these very necessary paths towards truth and well being may need to have a simplified approach. It is my opinion as well to mention that reaching a Spiritual level may have or not to be associated with a specific Religion.

    Of course, the planets move as the Heliocentric model predicts. Of course, the Geocentric model has consistently failed to account for the anomalies. However, I won’t accept that Geocentric model is wrong because it was believed to be true by millions for more than 1500 years. (If someone takes issue with the analogy, substitute Geocentrism with Fascism and Stalinism. Because they had millions of fervent adherents too.) What Galloway really says is that he won’t change his mind no matter what history shows.
