Done at the request of her and her brother Erik Prince. Hiring private contractors like Blackwater in to help him in Iraq was undoubtedly one of the worst things that George W. Bush ever did, after starting the war itself based on lies. IMO, George W Bush pioneered many of the things that Trump did. The big lesson our country should learn from the whole Blackwater fiasco is that you DON"T hire private contractors in to do the nations business. The national interest should be way, way above private business interests.

Although I have never been a father myself - at least not in this lifetime - looking into young Ali's face, I can feel the high hopes and dreams that all fathers have for their sons.
