War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Villainy from a master. Corruption is Decider George’s real middle name — along with a nasty form of depravity named Karl Rove — and this innate form of life has spilled over into Iraq, an original corrupt state, where pocketing US cash has become a habit. In a war started with lies, the only recourse…
In full Arabic transliteration his name is UsÄmah bin Muḥammad bin`AwaḠbin LÄdin. In the West, however, in English-language mass media, it’s simply Osama. The original bad boy of modern times.

As the situation worsens in Afghanistan, some are voicing concerns whether the US should be there in the first place. Seven years along and nothing has really changed.
