Darn that Bush! Gulf nuclear plans take shape, says Al Attiyah By Mohammad Ezz Al Deen, Staff Reporter gulfnews.com Abu Dhabi: The Gulf states are expected to begin building a nuclear industry as a "sustainable and clean" source of power by 2009, a top official said yesterday. The Gulf Cooperation Council [GCC], which comprises six countries, wants to harness nuclear energy to offset the depletion of oil and gas reserves, Abdullah Hamad Al Attiyah, the Qatari Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy and Industry, told Gulf News in an interview here yesterday. "Oil and gas reserves will be exhausted sooner or later; 70 or 100 years is a long time for us, but not for our nations," he said. Al Attiyah said the GCC is currently conducting a wide-ranging study on the use of nuclear energy as a main source of power in the future.

When it comes to Irish history, the accusations are the English never remember and the Irish never forget. Although I am English, my mother is from Eire, have lots of Irish cousins, so I know a lot of Irish history as presented by both sides. Cromwell is given bad press btw, he is still much hated even today but did a lot for democracy and democratic rule. He was usually a reasonable fair person, though he did invent the phrase, "God told me to do it". William of Orange landed at Brixham, Devon where my mother now lives. There is a statue of him there, but my mother doesn't have a good word to say about him. Such is religion and politics. Partition was a mess. Hardly any good way to deal with it though. en.wikipedia.org Iraq? watch that other link I posted to you. It's an eye opener, maybe not 100% accurate but not far off it at all.
