keep up the good work sweden !
The comedy of War scenarios in the International horizon is being perpitrated by a bunch of idiots, no one should underestimate Obama's wisdom because God is behind each honest guys like him, especially this time around, and kindly trust my words because the source is so clear that I have and no one should have any trace of doubts in minds. Just support where ever you are and distribute the following to all the readers all over the world S.V.P..
We shouldn't blame the governments only, the 'more than 99% of the non-violent minded good public should raise their voice to start demanding the banning of private guns from the streets of USA. In a decade, we'll be able to see 'Less crimes would be committed by guns' in Americas and on the global streets.
It's a chance for Dumb politicians of religions to increase production and sell oil for cheaper prices through one on one cash dealings in the black market and global public will be benefited too. Forget about war. Million of dollars costing bombs and war machines, at the expense of financial sufferings of millions of Western public, have absolutely failed to kill just a single head such as Gaddafi's, or Bin Laden's or Saddam's in recent past. Nuclear threat is the same; effectively nothing more than a propaganda only to create fears for the idiots by the more idiots as dumb heads. Koreas, Pakistanis, Indians etc. make Nuke
stuffs and the public suffers from poverty.
There will be never ever be any real shortage of fuel for energy on earth; it's the production limitatation against demand and imposed by Billionaires in control of oil business industry, OPEC, Arab leagues etc.
The Mullahs as Iranian heads have recently got their heads totally malfunctioning by the support of some hedgehog-type newly become bouncing 'oil money rich unscrupulous businessmen' of Western origins from many parts of the world that include China, Russia, Switzerland, India, Saudi-Arabia, Brazil, Venezuella etc. These blind fools would be better off, by being friendly with America and with the flow of popular wishes of interconnected global young generation. God is now with humanitarian minded honest guys, therefore, no power can defeat humanitarian: America or United Notrh-America as long as under the leader-ship and adviser of totally honest and unselfish Honorable Mr. Barack Obama.
