That they have murdered their own people just to get rich and wage wars in which they do not do the fighting. They have managed to con not just America and its own people but the rest of the World?
Ground zero is the exact location where any explosion occurs (see hypocenter).
The term "Ground Zero" may also be used to describe the point on the surface of the planet closest to any exploding bomb. In the case of a bomb which explodes above ground, epicenter refers to the point on the ground directly below the bomb at the moment of detonation.
The term has often been associated with nuclear explosions, but is also used in relation to earthquake epicenter, epidemics and other disasters to mark the point of the most severe damage or destruction. Damage gradually decreases with distance from this point.
