"... The Grand Jury charges that: 1. At all times material to this Indictment, MOHAMMAD ZAKI AMAWI (AMAWI) was a citizen of Jordan as well as a citizen of the United States, residing, until August 2005, in Toledo, Ohio. AMAWI traveled to Jordan in October 2003, and returned to the United States in March 2004. While in Jordan, AMAWI unsuccessfully attempted to enter into Iraq to wage violent jihad, or "holy war," against the United States and coalition forces. AMAWI returned to Jordan in August 2005. ...." and it goes on, of course, by those who decided the global war on terrrr made gwb god of earth. it's a serious problem -- humans judging humans in a world where humans can become in charge of an entire planet for enough of a time to manufacture laws, rules, regulations and other forms of criminal insanity branded as though a reality that can not be denied ITS' (the machine's) right to kill as though a chosen god of cannibalism, I mean globalism. Which sentient being on earth begins the thousand mile journey with the single step? Do the transnationals actually have a monopoly on insanity - ir does not appear this idea has been evolved, yet.
