American belligerency There is just no limit to American belligerency. First they invaded Iraq on false pretexts and set in motion events that resulted into the death of over a million Iraqis, with many times that wounded and displaced. They are now harassing Iraqi leaders, threatening them with dire consequences in an attempt to pressurise them into signing a ‘status of forces agreement’ popularly called pact of slavery, because of the adverse effects it will have on Iraqi sovereignty. Then they are conducting illegal, cross-border raids into Pakistani territory, despite strong protests by the government of Pakistan, because these are making their work very difficult. These are also having the effect of raising the anger and hatred felt by Pakistani public for Americans and between Iraq and Pakistan, it will be difficult to determine now where the Americans are hated more. As if all this was not enough, they have also started mischief in Syria. It is a shame that being a superpower with plentiful resources, which could enable them to do lot of good, Americans just choose to spread death and destruction wherever they set their foot. They have also been involved in the Arab-Israeli peace process, with no progress at all but that does not bother them in the least, because peace does not seem to be their cup of tea. I am really disappointed with the American voters for the quality of leadership they pick and the unlimited powers they give them to plunder the world. I hope they choose some better candidates this time, which will be good for the world and also for them. Their present leadership has only earned them wide-spread hatred in nearly all Muslim countries, turned thousands of healthy Americans into corpses and disabled people, mentally and/or physically, apart from presenting American public, as a parting gift, the financial melt-down ,which is the obvious result of their wild and reckless policies.
