	Prussian Minister of War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The War Ministry was to help bring the army under constitutional control, and, along with the General Staff systematize the conduct of warfare.
		Gerhard von Scharnhorst, the most prominent and influential of the reformers, served as acting war minister from roughly 1808 until 1810 (he was also Chief of the General Staff).

		This feeling was intensified when he saw the minister of war sitting at a big table, and for the first two minutes taking no notice of his entrance.
		The minister of war had his bald head, with grey curls on the temple, held low between two wax candles; he was reading some papers, and marking them with a pencil.
		Prince Andrey felt that either the minister of war took less interest in the doings of Kutuzov’s army than in any other subject demanding his attention, or that he wanted to make the Russian attaché feel this.

		We guess the peace zucchini we presented to you over the summer didn't quite have the effect we had hoped for, because you are spending untold billions to help attack and destroy one of the poorest countries on Earth while people die here at home for lack of affordable housing and decent income.
		Indeed, the sanctions represent the use of starvation as a means of waging war, a crime by any humanitarian standard.
		We call on you to be a person of conscience, to say no to war, and to stop promoting violence as a means of solving conflict.

		Government claims that war on Iraq was justified by the threat posed by Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction were dismissed as "fantasy" by a minister sacked in last month's reshuffle.
		But the US-UK coalition's failure to find evidence of WMD in the 12 weeks since the fall of Baghdad suggests that the warnings were "over-egged", he said.
		At the time of the war debate, Mr Meacher said he "believed what the intelligence services and the Government were saying" when they claimed Saddam possessed WMD capabilities that could threaten UK interests.

		Since the war, Shinto is no longer the state religion and the emperor no longer claims to be divine (although there is a very small number of Japanese who still believe he is).
		Because war criminals are enshrined there, people in Asia and elsewhere who fell victim to the policies carried out by the Japanese armies in World War II believe that the prime minister's visit to the shrine sends an ominous signal.

		The arrests of dozens of members of the two groups that India blames for the December 13 suicide attack on its parliament, were intended not to disable the militants but to mislead the US, Fernandes said.
		With the British prime minister expected to visit the region in the next few days, Fernandes said India would wait to see whether various diplomatic efforts had succeeded in getting Pakistan to take effective action against the groups.
		But he was categorical that there had been no change on the ground, where he said the accused groups continue to commit acts of terrorism.

	Oliver Kamm: 'Worst Minister since the War'
		Deregulation, scaling back the public sector and taming union militancy were strictly necessary in the 1980s, though Mrs Thatcher was at fault in not stressing equally the responsibility of the state to recognise and alleviate the social consequences of economic change.
		Baroness Williams, articulate exponent of the Liberal Democrats’ opposition to tuition fees – a straight subsidy to the middle classes at the expense of the taxpayer - is eminently recognisable from her earlier persona as the defender of privileged sectional interests and the promoter of increased inequality.
		Truly, she is the worst and – as her proclaimed beliefs are the exact opposite, for she complains at the erosion under Tony Blair of Labour’s ‘bedrock principles’ - least philosophically coherent minister since the war.

		Their passivity over the war has occurred against a background of wider collapse, for the Tory party, like the monarchy, the Church of England and the BBC, is in terminal decline.
