The Terror Experts existed before the Iraqi resistance and they will exist after it. Wherever the oppressed rise and effectively resist imperial rule there will be academic chairs, foundations grants and Centers for International Studies for the ambitious upwardly mobile Terror Expert. The Imperial state will demand their services, the prestigious Councils of Foreign Relations will offer membership and universities will reward them with distinguished professorships. They will be celebrities ­ the mass media talk shows will feature them. They will be far from the killing fields but their spirit will be there, on the front lines and in the torture chambers, guiding the hands that place the hoods over the unredeemable, nihilists, Muslims, Marxists or national patriots. read full story / add a comment

Immigration is a relatively new experience for Ireland with 1997 being the year which marked the start of large numbers of people (generally 10,000 a year) coming to Ireland seeking asylum. Ireland has a demographic problem, in that it has an ageing population and needs this immigration to sustain economic growth and labour supply. read full story / add a comment
