I like what I see, provisionally. Although I'd appreciate the Associate Minister giving us a few brief examples of how he sees this working in practice.
> Things here are quiet, aside from a current resolution condemning the death of PM Bhutto. I am currently ambivalent, as I wonder if the LOSS could not be doing better things with its time.
Personally, I have a horror of cheap "condemnation" resolutions - even in the politics of larger nations. Since you would have to be a sociopath (or someone with a much bigger emotional investment in Pakistani politics than I have) to approve of this assassination, the purpose of such condemnation resolutions seem to function in the same sense of a McCarthy era "loyalty oath" - that is, you're judged on the quickness and apparent sincerity of your expression of a certain "compulsory" opinion. I would prefer to see the Talossan Republic abstain from all similar motions on principle, although of course I disapprove of political murder for anyone but active warmongers.
