As some people here may remember, i'm not a very politically minded person.
I have enough trouble understanding the Irish government system, let alone
the American system.
Watching the media coverage of the tragedy of the last 25hours i realise
that now is not a time that my apolitical ways (is that even word??) stand
to me.
I have a request;
I would like to know something about the Federal Government- what is it? How
does it work? How does, for example, a mayor and a governor fit in there.
And what is the role of the FBI etc? I think that this knowledge would
further my understanding of the relief effort currently being discussed by
the Mayor of NY on television.
dont get me wrong, i *do* have some idea, as it has been explained to me
before, but i'm not exactly sure.
i would be obliged greatly if someone could fill me in, but keep it a
simple, thanks.
GARRET
