Meryl Streep as former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in the film "The Iron Lady." (Reuters)Margaret Thatcher ran Downing Street with an iron fist from 1979 to 1990. Vilified by her liberal opponents, Great Britains first and only female prime minister was the patron saint of the conservative movement.But Hollywoods new film about the iconic leader The Iron Lady, starring Meryl Streep has viewers arguing about more than just politics. Some people who were close to Thatcher say the film should is too focused on Thatchers recent decline.Thatcher suffered series of strokes over a decade ago and has not made a public appearance in some time. She did not attend the Royal Wedding last spring, and her memory loss has reportedly progressed to such an extent that the small group of conservatives who maintained her office and continued to champion her beliefs decided to disband earlier this year.Many of them say they are not happy with the new movie."She was
ge number of vehicles and army jeeps.After showing taped footage of mourners and documentaries of Kim Jong Il, state TV began airing the procession, showing cars moving slowly through the snowy city, led by a limousine carrying a huge portrait of a smiling Kim Jong Il.Wednesday's procession had a stronger military presence than 1994.Kim Jong Il, who ushered in a "military first" era when he took power, celebrated major occasions with lavish, meticulously choreographed parades designed to show off the nation's military might, such as the October 2010 display when he introduced his son to the world.Kim Jong Un was made a four-star general and appointed a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission of the ruling Workers' Party last year.After the funeral, the young Kim is expected to cement his power by formally assuming command of the 1.2 million-strong military, and becoming general secretary of the Workers' Party and chairman of the party's Central Military
re courts.Rights groups have said some officers have explained the tests as a way to clear their names of possible charges of abuse by the protesters. Women protesters said they were threatened with prostitution charges before they were subjected to the tests.Hossam Bahgat, a human rights activist who was involved in the case, said the court ruling restores some justice to the abused women and is a first step toward holding military officials accountable."It is also very symbolically important because it is a crack in the wall of impunity the (military rulers) have built around their personnel and their conduct" against protesters and women in particular, he said.He said the lawyers will try to upgrade the charges against the army doctor to sexual assault instead of the current indecent act.Ibrahim, who covers her hair in the style of conservative Muslims, told a private TV station Monday that she filed the suits because she wanted to spare others what she wen
nd drones to stop ships from sailing through the narrow waterway.Iran's navy claims it has sonar-evading submarines designed for shallow waters of the Persian Gulf, enabling it to hit passing enemy vessels.A closure of the strait could temporarily cut off some oil supplies and force shippers to take longer, more expensive routes that would drive oil prices higher. It also potentially opens the door for a military confrontation that would further rattle global oil markets.Iran claimed a victory this month when it captured an American surveillance drone almost intact. It went public with its possession of the RQ-170 Sentinel to trumpet the downing as a feat of Iran's military in a complicated technological and intelligence battle with the U.S.American officials have said that U.S. intelligence assessments indicate the drone malfunctioned.
BEIRUT Activists say Syrian security forces have fired guns and tear gas at thousands of anti-government protesters in the central city of Hama and killed at least six people.Several thousand protesters were trying to reach the city's main Assi square to stage a sit-in amid a heavy security presence Wednesday when troops opened fire to disperse them.Hama-based activist Saleh Abu Kamel told The Associated Press he had the names of six people who were killed and many wounded. The number could not be immediately confirmed.Activists say they expect a team of Arab League monitors now in Syria to head to Hama on Thursday.
Paul is also making his final appeal.Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman said early on he is foregoing an Iowa campaign.Each of the candidates is looking for supporters one at a time and hoping to become a roadblock for Romney, who is looking stronger than expected, and Paul, whose organization is notable for its strength and vastness. With the recent rise of Paul, closer scrutiny is being paid to his record, including a 1990s newsletter in his name that has caused him some trouble.Santorum, who's been one of Paul's most vocal critics during the debates, alluded to those debates and other policy positions held by President Obama to make his case."(Radio host) Rush Limbaugh said that the other day on his show that you'd never have to worry a night that, you know, I wasn't trying to do the right thing in the Oval Office. And that's what I hope the people of Iowa have now picked up," he said. Santorum a Surprise Candidate?White Hou
