Judge deals blow to families suing Blackwater The survivors of four Blackwater Worldwide mercenaries killed in a grisly ambush in Iraq five years ago have suffered yet another setback in their legal battle with the company. A federal administrative law judge ruled last week the children of one of the slain contractors should receive compensation through a government insurance program known as the Defense Base Act.

This is good news for World Peace but bad news for Israel. Look Israel see's Iran as the enemy and they want to bomb that country. For eight years the US/Israel have done their best to others countries see Iran as the Axis of Evil. The US said the IED's used to kill US soldiers in Iraq were shipped in by Iran. Then the Media showed on of the IED's and it was marked USA#..... which a US soldier identified as being made in the USA. Before Obama's swearing in Bush quickly took Iran off the Axis of Evil list. Each country has problems but the US/Israel did their best to fine a reason to attack Iran. Israel bombed Syria knowing they had no weapons just hoping Iran will make a more to given them reason to attack Iran. We'll see more problems in America with Jews as they have lost the White House.
