Opinion:

I could not understand that still international media is louding and shouting at Al-Qaida, Iraq (Saddam), Afghanistan and now at Iran too.

Why no one is getting understanding that thousands of people killed in Iraq-US war on Bio-nuclear weapons, and after slaughtering thousands it comes to knowledge that "The informations were wrond, there were no weapons like that."

Then a 4 months operation US start in Afghanistan to finish Al-Qaida, on the basis to attach on twin towers, but. . . .

Now all the wold is known that twin towers no broken by Al-Qaida, but it was some internal factors involve in US Govt. but after knowing all the truths; UN is still keeping their actions in |Afghanistan, killing civilians and innocent people including children, also US attacking drones in Pakistan, saying Al-Qaida is there, and now in the news above France is found some more troops of Al-Qaida. Is Al Qaida bigger enough to stable its stations in so many countries. Afghanistan is under attack, A country where there is not a single airport, no train system, no roads.

It is kind and humbel request to my readers and writers, please wake-up. Don't go with the false and bare-footed propoganda and see and say the truth. By doing this you can save thousands of lives, by stopin this curelty.
