When there is no terrorism, there is terrorism of wars

The US and its allies invaded Iraq and Afghanistan to occupy and exploit the oil and gas resources and the "war on terror" has crossed over the borders into Pakistan. None of these nations had the capability to threaten the US military supremacy or its Europeans allies. Poverty-stricken people and the US AID recipient nations cannot threaten the Master. So, then why this War on Terrorism?
The author attempts to provide answers to this basic question. Here is one answer:
When nations and leaders have absolute power, they think in one way, not with sense of rationality but with arrogance and complete disregard to the interests of the mankind. The truth stands on its own that al-Qaeda and its splinter groups were established by the CIA to fight against the former USSR in Afghanistan and other Jihadi groups to defeat the spread of communism moving on to the Middle East oil enriched region. These groups have no global vitality or worthwhile operational capacity except on paper and except when the US authorities want them to act to justify its major warmongering in the region. Often, these dying entities are financed and equipped by the CIA to remain afloat. War is life to American economy and official psyche or else America could be dysfunctional.
