America is falling from within:
With the looming elections of another terrorist President in the wings, America is positioning itself for another 4 years of corruption. America’s greatest assets are its uninformed citizens that think that clouds are still made of cotton candy and Mickey Mouse is real! The more in the dark you are the more you can be manipulated into submission.
Europe is run by the same "Bad Boys" and will suffer the same fate if they do not distance themselves from (…)

UNITED NATIONS, June 19, 2004 (Reuters) - Secretary-General Kofi Annan (news - web sites) and key U.N. Security Council members intensified their opposition to a U.S. draft resolution that would renew the exemption of American soldiers from international prosecution.

FALLUJA, Iraq (Reuters) - Iraq’s prime minister on Sunday defended a U.S. air strike that killed 22 people in Falluja, but Iraqi officers in the town said the dead included women and children rather than foreign Muslim militants.
