The U.S after stirring up trouble in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and Egypt is now getting a taste of it's own medicine. Remember that there is corruption and unbalanced income spread in EVERY nation but, when the economy is booming the people condone such happenings. When the economy is bad, every social evil gets seen through the microscope. People can take no more. War mongering started as a pass time but, has today become an expensive affair for the U.S. The Americans cornered and killed Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein - but the U.S economy is controlled by corporate greed that is no less dangerous than Bin Laden or Saddam.
