Truth is that none of our thousand nuclear weapons us against this threat
can protect. No Star war system - completely no matter how technically

We are the target of terrorists, because our Government almost worldwide for

We did this in the Iran as the US when were young Navy and CIA Mossad,

That is why it is hated around the world. And we are in the target
