21 hours ago ago from Ramblings from the Hill Country

December 23, 2009 Pamir Times--> by Aziz Ali Dad The current mantra of war on terror is blown out of proportion by those whose interest lies in the protection of nation state, extremist agenda and world system on the one hand, and perpetuation of violence on the other.
