MUHAMMAD HAQUE POLITICAL POETRY ON THE DEGENERATION OF DEMOCRACY IN 2005

Parties must not have that control any longer.911 – a route to war or an excuse for war?

The present international instability could result in one or numerous other horrendous scenarios. However, the one glaring consistency or constant in today’s international political arena is the hatred that America has attracted from the rest of the world. Regardless of any other consideration, a nation despised by all is doomed. The USA has earned its reward by its blatant double standards, hypocrisy and the serial exploitation of weaker nations. These are the direct causes of the retaliatory response on American interests worldwide. The so-called “terrorists” are only a minor distraction while the real war unfolds.BNP bumps into trouble with multiple copyright breach
