politics of "fait accompli" Explanation: Apparently the ruling organization's political agenda is to do what they want without asking the people, hence, "fait accompli". Hence the writer is calling for almost a revolt by the people. |

a sort of garbled version of concocted facts.. Explanation: thus -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2006-10-09 12:49:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- re Kays question above,we don't know whic,.so version would apply to both.so as the exposition of the facts wasn't clear,I used word garbled.However I seem to have misunderstood meaning of fatti compiuti,seeing this as concocted/computed facts,and I may be wrong. |

hindsight politics Explanation: "we all have great hindsight" is something often said here..that is, we all know what we should have done..after the fact which goes with critics as well. Everyone is a great critic after the fact. In italiano..qui si dice spesso che ogniuno e' bravissimo a criticare dopo il fatto compiuto o a sapere quello che si avrebbe dovuto fare dopo il fatto compiuto..Hindsight (vedere guardando indietro) Vedi il link di sotto..hanno anche fatto degli studi sul soggetto :o) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2006-10-09 22:51:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Nota che se si tratta di fatti compiuti nel senso di fare qualcosa poi scusarsi dopo (o giustificarlo al pubblico) "fait accompli" sarebbe anche la mia scelta.
