Two million have become exiles living desperate lives. [00:50:11] by Missing_Trillions

There's some vid out there of bush just cracking wise and kinda making fun of the WMDs lie. It's just disgusting.

What makes you think your country/region of Europe may deregulate it's education sector? Honest question as I haven't heard much specifically about privatization/deregulation efforts going on in Europe, though I do know that it's an ongoing thing.
