Nature has devised its own way of punishing the perpetrator of crime.
Has not the United States followed a policy of ‘interference’ & ‘confrontation’ in the Islamic World be it Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan & other Muslim countries around the globe ? And now that majority of the countries are absolutely dejected it’s policies – except a selected few ones like K.S.A., U.A.E., Kuwait & other tail waggers of the United States – it does not want to leave these Oil producing idiot countries hence it has followed the policy of conducting bomb-blast and to prolong its stay in the Middle East & other Muslim countries.
Now, some bold individual(s) has paid the United States in its own coin so why to create such a nonsense over the whole affair. ‘Just as you sow, so shall you reap’ is nature’s way of punishment so bear it un-grudgingly.
