    The United States of America did consider itself the master of the world and attacked Iraq denying the decisions of the United Nations. Now America could not become the master of the world but the U.N is totally bruised which has made the world like a jungle where might is right and one who has the mastery does his utmost skill to have the most in his field. If the ongoing conflicts of Iraq still, Georgia, Afghanistan and Iran did prevail the condition of the world will get worsened of peace and stability.
