Pachyderm introduced
I put in some brief notes on NI, Israel, and Egypt, simply as being reasonably at hand. For countries, such as these, where it's a major issue, there indeed could and should be subarticles.
For example, note that I have a rather fragmentary User: Howard C. Berkowitz/EJUS and a much more extended User: Howard C. Berkowitz/EJUSGWB. In the broad spirit of CZ: Neutrality Policy, I believe that when we start a broad international topic, we cannot just write principally about one country in the top-level. There's nothing wrong with having a section of examples, and even short text for countries where it's not a major issue.
Fairness at several levels, however, requires to start at least short subarticles on countries, and, sub-subarticles on periods or politicians: The Troubles, pre-partition Palestine; American Civil War, George W. Bush Administration. It's had been rather silly to go on about Bush, ignore the elephant of the Emerald Isle, and the wooly mammoths of the Gulag and the Nazi concentration camp system (i.e., not just the Holocaust, but going back to SA camps for political opponents).
If several people could start subarticles, that would be ideal. Note that interrogation policy is related but parallel. Howard C. Berkowitz 18:28, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
