2.Attempted to suppress a populist or nationalist movement in 20 countries.&lt;br /&gt;
3.Grossly interfered in democratic elections in at least 30 countries.&lt;br /&gt;
4.Dropped bombs on the people of more than 30 countries.&lt;br /&gt;
5.Attempted to assassinate more than 50 foreign leaders.&lt;br /&gt;
In total: Since 1945, the United States has carried out one or more of the above actions, on one or more occasions, in the following 69 countries.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;A:&lt;/b&gt; Because there's no American embassy there.&lt;br /&gt;

            <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.23hq.com/kombizz/photo/5631384"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.23hq.com/5473655/5631384_f1cfa735f8f05c74a047bb109e9387bd_standard.jpg" width="345" height="460" class="23-standard"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where is my vote?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The other main election news (reported by BBC TV News and others) concerned voting irregularities involving hundreds of people at many Polling Stations (PS).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;•Some voters were turned away at 2200 hours as, due to a number of factors, some PS were unable to cope with the numbers of people wishing to vote.&lt;br /&gt;
•There were reports that the lists of registered voters had not been updated at some PS and people were, therefore, not allowed to vote.&lt;br /&gt;
•Some PS ran out of ballot papers.&lt;br /&gt;
•Some Postal Votes had not been delivered to voters on time and some had been lost.&lt;br /&gt;
•Some PS stayed open a few minutes beyond 2200 hours in order to allow people to vote. This appears to be illegal.&lt;br /&gt;
It is not yet clear whether any of these events occurred in constituencies that had been deemed to be marginal. There could be legal challenges from candidates who have fallen a few votes short of victory and the Electoral Commission has launched an investigation.&lt;br /&gt;

Contributed by Chris Lee&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We ask for more democracy for long long time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It sound stupid to ask for a China to grant us more democracy, which she does not have any.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Did we really get Universal Suffrage at the year of 2047?&lt;/p&gt;

            <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.23hq.com/Memory_capsule/photo/380886"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.23hq.com/292802/380886_3c7e7c86c1bd868e47d017fdcd187156_standard.jpg" width="345" height="460" class="23-standard"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;VictoriaPark4June2005. Contributed by David Clarke.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;For this memory capsule I have chosen a photo of an event that is itself about memory, the annual June 4th memorial rally in Victoria Park. I took this photo myself at the 2005 rally, one of many I have attended. On this occasion, as on others, I was struck by the number of young children that had been brought by their parents to take part in the rally. Clearly many people are determined not just to remember the tragedy of the violent repression perpetrated by the Chinese state in Beijing on 4th June 1989, but to pass on that memory to children who weren’t even born when it happened. The June 4th rally is about memory, about looking back, but also about the future, about looking forward, since it is about the aspiration for democratic government in China and Hong Kong. When this memory capsule is dug up will democracy have long been a reality in China?  Will the story of the 1989 democracy movement be a recognized part of the historical record, or will it have been erased from view?  One of the things I like about Hong Kong is its freedom of expression, and the willingness of Hong Kong people to peacefully take to the streets in exercise of their political rights.  Hong Kong is the only place in China at this point in time where such an open commemoration of June 4th 1989 can take place.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Photo by &lt;a href="https://www.23hq.com/Memory_capsule/"&gt;hkfringe club&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
