The blood of Americans is more pure, Americans have a right to murder people of other nations without being accountable, Americans are always right. It is in that false premises they started the war. Just like Hitler’s Germany Bush’s America too prefer to go to the road to disaster. Today the commander of the American terrorist forces in Iraq testify in front of the war monger bunches in Washin
