Wow! How brave it is to struggle against a "monster" that was defeated a quarter of century ago! But let me warn you that while you are revelling in kicking a dead lion a real monster is rising up behind you back. The US army killed about 200 000 civilian people during the 1st war in Iraq and more than a million during the second war. And the people of the US just closed their eyes on that, as well as they don't notice now how the Kievan neo-fascist junta burns civilian people with banned phosphorous bombs, supplied by the US in the South-East regions of Ukraine. It's very convenient to be pleasantly blind and see only those things that please your eyes. But don't have any illusions that this monster will not discard you life as it has already discarded millions of innocent lives all over the world when it sees fit. Remember: the bell tolls for you...
