These problems were USA born. Osama bin Laden once used to collect fighters for
USA to use in Afghanistan against USSR. No offence, it seems that USA government
still has some kind of sympathy for Osama, that's why he is still at large.

Not for humans, but for man power. This was for America's own interest.

It's because USA is the biggest consumer of all resources of earth. People go
there in search of benefits of these resources. Ask your government to share the
resources with other world; I bet nobody will no longer be longing to go to USA
for money earning purposes.

Some days ago an unidentified white guy from some western country was filming a
very important government building, called "Saudi Pak Tower", with a video
camera. The camera did not look like any professional type. This made me
suspicious. When I asked that white guy about his identity he became confused
and presented some lame excuses. His accent of English told that he was from
some English speaking background. After producing some excuses and calling
himself a "journalist" from National Geographic, he packed his camera and told
me that his taxi was waiting for him. More suspiciously, he was alone. He had no
other team member with him. I tried to inform police but couldn't do it in time.
When somebody unidentified from a foreign country films any important government
building, it means that he/she is a REAL threat for the country. Note that the
guy was from some western country and the building had the word "Saudi" in its
name.

I am still NOT trolling but I am writing exactly what we (anti-Osama and
anti-Talibaan) in Pakistan think about USA. I still say that USA people are very
innocent. It's their government which causes them security problems. Any threats
to USA people are the long-term reactions of their government's policies.
