1) Are there wizard terrorists in the Middle East?
2) Does one country of wizards wage war on another country of wizards, or do they just support the muggles, and, either way, do they ever go to war for false reasons?
3) Is the wizard ruler of America a "Minister" or "President" or what?
4) What do wizards think of what's going on in the world today? Do they hold protest rallies, and if so is there magic involved?
5) How do wizards in, for example, Brazil communicate with wizards in England? If they have go to such places in person, can wizards apparate over the ocean or through the earth? Is there a Trans-atlantic Floo Network?
6) Could wizards *gasp* have weapons of mass destruction?!!!!

I'd say no to most of that. If wizards got invoved in petty things such as wars then we would all end up getting blown to smitherines all the time. I think much more highly of wizards (and am quite the peace lover, a nonbeliverinwar if you will) than to get involved in wars over oil and the such. I would think that the only wars they are worried about are those of good vs evil and making sure that good wins most of the time and seeing as Voldemort is on the lose again then all their time and energy must be occupied. *looks disdainful* wars between countries and wizards? pshaw! *walks away disgusted at the idea that a wizard would lower himself to the level of muggle country wars*

They would of a Secretary of Magic. He'd be a cabinet member but only the President and maybe vp would know about them. Like, Fudge is the Minister of Magic, well they have Ministers of say Defense. Much like our secretaries.

I think wizards mostly don't really care much about muggle politics...they mostly are concerned with their own problems.

yeah, like rite now, i'm concerned about whether there's a blue ice lolly in the freezer ( i hate all the other flavors... anyway, blue's a more quirky colour!) People just don't give a damn about reel politics ( me included!)

Dumbledore said that he is one of the few wizards that read the muggle news. So I doubt they even know about the stupid stuff going on in our world.

I do think that they would have a Wizard President in America. And if you think that wizards don't care about politics, why the heck was Fudge acting like a moron in OotP? Because he didn't want to lose his political job! If you think that Wizards don't go to war, what were they waging against Voldy before he tried to kill Harry? A sit-in? While they don't care about muggle causes like oil, didn't the goblins revolt? Wouldn't that be a war? Didn't wizards pretty much declare war on the giants? You don't have to go as far as the middle east to find terrorist wizards - I think the Death Eaters fit the definition of a terrorist. As far as communicating with wizards in other countries, wouldn't owls work just as well? I think you can apparate over oceans. Most of the wizards for the World Cup apparated, and those who couldn't used portkeys. JKR has the wizarding world coordinate with the muggle world in a lot of ways - we fly, they apparate. We use the mail, they use owls. We call each other on the telephone - they pop their heads into fireplaces. Tom, I thought they were good questions  |

I would, but, like my original post, any explanation would go completely over all your heads. So, no.
