    What in the heck is the matter with us USA’ers that we are willing to be such a minor product manufacturer, and such a major exporter of armaments to any the heck horrible government, destroyer of the innocent, in the world. There is no excuse.

    This is not an excuse, but an explanation: US empire (late phase). See British empire.

    it is hard to imagine a conversation about the world arms trade without a single mention of israel.

    wasn’t there a big story in ha’aretz last week claiming that israel was arming the junta in burma?

    has goyette gone over to the dark side? i suspect hartung is a shill for israel like the people in pnac.

    aren’t the majority of the major arms dealers israelis?
