  1. In my opinion the activities of Black Water and the CIA are non-human and are making things more complexed and difficult. Through such type of activities trust of the world on USA as peace lover has blown off. This world should be flower bed rather than BLOOD BED…………….. People like Eric Price and those who are using them against muslims or any other community deserve hatred and not love.

    Rest assure that peace will not prevail… if it is Iarq, Afghanistan and Pakistan are at the recieving end tommorow it will be USA to face the ever bitter consequences. Because it is law of nature that every raised on has to fall down tommorow. The higher one raised the deepest on Falls……..
