The 11th commandment by Jeffrey Archer

the 11th commandment by Jeffery Archer 

Very interesting book. I actually stayed until 2 am to finish this book although I knew I had to work the next day, I just couldn't wait to read the final chapter.

The story told of an agent from CIA that was leading a double life. He was an assassin and assigned to kill "bad guys" to protect the interest of United States. But he didn't realise that his boss wanted him dead too to protect her own interest. And the drama begins. 

Although this is an interesting read, I feel that America is practising double standard. When someone stays in the way, they destroy them. Just look at the recent Gaddafi case. Maybe he was not a good guy and was a corrupt person, but under his rule, Libyan literacy rate increase from 10% to 90%, the people enjoyed free education, financial assistance for housing, free healthcare, etc. Libyan was debt free too with a lot of resources. However, now after his downfall, the so called heroes "America" controlled the money to provide assistance (loan) back to the Libyan people. If the America wanted to help people, they should provide necessary help to form a democratic government fast, and let the Libyan people govern their own people, resources, etc. 

Another movie is "whistleblower", if the movie is true. Then, what is the use of America? They allowed the military private contractor to smuggle people and even though it was exposed, the contractor could still get the government contract. So, in their eyes, their people are not to be touched, while people from other countries are second rank and can be bought or sold?
