DR I'm very please with your video, it shows our failure as an empire and the wrong steps of leadership,the desert is a dame place by the goods and it is not our bussiness to decide for the faith of an ancient culture, we've made alies with the devil him self and sooner or later will turn back on us.
We're fighting an ancient war that 'till this day is a burden to the US society, how long can we keep on ruining our economy over someone elses intereses, it's time to rationalize our prerrogatives
