Newest Review: ... of the work, painting him even more as the "lapdog". The US president just was not able to convince the international community, as every time he tried to do so he said something totally idiotic, polarising the world against him ie. "With us or against us". His total lack of political thinking, poor speech ability and general not giving a rats ass about the rest of the ... more

Gulf War 2 caused a lot of outrage when it kicked off, but why was there such opposition to it? No matter how you look at it, Gulf War 2 was going to occur sometime.

Well, it’s necessary to say that the last 10 years PP (popular party whose leader is the ...
