Disgruntled Democracies

They'll come back home and get disgruntled, and it will result in difficulties we don't want.

But the accountability's up the line judging the decision against the effect on everybody, not just on the disgruntled person.

First, constraints in the disarmament and community reintegration programme create a pool of disgruntled demobilized soldiers who are potential candidates for remobilization outside FARDC.

Half the world's HIV victims are infected before they turn 25, and disgruntled young men and women are in the frontline of terrorism and armed conflict.

As has happened on previous occasions, there is a risk that disgruntled parties might resort to the clause again in order to force a new election.11

Little wonder disgruntled reactions were common at The Hawthorns, perhaps most notably after a diabolical 0 0 draw with Villa in late January, when the visitors looked the more likely.

Murray Hiebert, an expert on Southeast Asia at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, noted the military's suspicion that the attacks were carried out by people disgruntled over the vote.

Again, this is all based around leaks, 251,000 U.S. diplomatic cables, and I was involved in this investigation because I got this leak through a leak from a disgruntled WikiLeaker and ended up going to work at the Guardian.

One of the main leaders of this group of disgruntled nationalists was Nobusuke Kishi, Abe s grandfather. Kishi s aim was to regain Japanese pride and sovereignty by revising the constitution and reviving old fashioned patriotism, thus undoing some of the American educational reforms.

Given this, the JCP s gains were probably fueled more by disgruntled voters desire to signal their frustration to Abe. In fact, in those districts where the election pitted JCP and LDP candidates against each other, many citizens did not take the trouble to vote.

The involvement of UNOCI in the implementation of the Pretoria Agreement, in particular the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration and electoral processes, and also in the monitoring of the arms embargo, raises concerns regarding the security of UNOCI staff, particularly if disgruntled elements resort to violence to disrupt the peace process.

The majority Shia and their Kurdish allies rejected Bush s plea to Iraqi politicians to modify the new draft constitution to attract disgruntled Sunni Arabs. Given that the insurgency is centered among the Sunnis, this refusal is likely to make it more difficult to establish the security that is necessary for democratic government to work.

But, although al Ahmar announced that he was appalled by the use of force and vowed to defend the constitution, his decision was anything but altruistic. The disgruntled general, who has long standing ties to the type of jihadists that the United States is battling in Yemen, merely sought to settle a score with the president s family.

Huge investments have strengthened the People s Armed Police (PAP), a large anti riot paramilitary force whose specialty is the quick suppression of anti government protests by disgruntled industrial workers, peasants, and urban residents. Frequent deployment of the PAP is a major reason why the tens of thousands of collective protests that occur each year (74,000 in 2004 and 86,000 in 2005) have had a negligible impact on China s overall stability.

Beyond lifting the eurozone economy out of deflation, such an initiative would have massive political benefits, as it would reduce resentment toward European institutions, especially in struggling countries like Greece and Portugal, where an extra 500 would have a particularly strong impact on spending. In this way, the ECB could prove to disgruntled citizens and investors that it is serious about meeting its inflation target, and even help to stem the rise of nationalist parties.
